The third edition of the Future Energy Summit Iberia 2025 will bring together over 400 energy sector executives on 24 June in Madrid. Within this context, Galp stands out as one of the most anticipated participants due to its expanding role in the region’s energy transition.
The company comes to the event having consolidated a portfolio with more than 1.5 GW of installed capacity and more than 400 MW under development, with an approach based on optimising and improving the performance of operational grid connection points through storage and hybridization.
Fernando Cremades, Global Head of Growth, will represent the company in the panel titled “Trends in Solar Energy and Storage in Spain”, alongside executives from Chemik, Yingli Solar, 360Energy, Zelestra and Enlight. Discussions will centre on current market challenges in Spain: low prices, renewable curtailments, and pressure on profitability.
The session is especially relevant given that Galp already operates a pilot BESS system of 5 MW / 20 MWh in Alcoutim (Portugal), with plans to expand it to 60 MW by 2025.
Its strategy is to act as an integrated energy operator, combining solar generation, battery storage, and energy trading to optimise revenues in a volatile environment. Digitalisation and smart dispatch solutions are central to this approach to operational resilience.
Carlos Relancio, Director of Renewable Energies at Galp, will also take part in the event’s networking and strategic discussion spaces. His participation will focus on the challenges of expanding and integrating renewable capacity in the Iberian market, where Galp recently announced a €650 million investment in a new advanced biofuels unit and a 100 MW electrolyser at its Sines refinery, partially funded by the European Investment Bank and Mitsui.
A gathering of the key players driving the energy transition
FES Iberia 2025 will be held at the Colegio de Caminos, Auditorio Betancourt in Madrid, bringing together more than 400 public and private sector executives.

The agenda will include strategic panels on the Southern European market, the role of offtakers, opportunities in Latin America, and a high-level discussion with energy authorities from Guatemala and the Dominican Republic on tender processes and regulatory frameworks.
In addition to its technical content, FES Iberia will offer an exclusive high-level networking environment, including private meeting rounds, bilateral sessions, and a cocktail reception with top leaders from the renewable energy ecosystem.
