The rejected text was eminently technical in nature and responded to the urgent need to provide the electricity system with greater resilience, operational security, and supply, in a context of profound transformation of the energy model. There was no technical reason to oppose its approval . Quite the contrary: the wind energy sector has been actively working to share the importance of its clearly apolitical content , precisely because of its strategic nature for the country.

The sector’s failure to validate it is, in its opinion, a mistake. It seriously conditions the development of renewable energies—particularly wind power as an energy vector that must significantly increase its current presence in the mix—and affects the electrification of the economy and the common goal of achieving a modern, efficient, and secure energy system for all territories.

The rejection of this Royal Decree-Law constitutes a decision that goes against the interests of our economy and the industrial drive necessary to safely face the energy transition. This situation adds to other recent precedents, such as the failure to approve similar decrees at the regional level—as occurred in Catalonia—also for eminently partisan reasons.

The robustness of our energy system should not be left to the mercy of parliamentary arithmetic. What is at stake is the guarantee of supply, the stability of the electricity system, and the country’s competitiveness.

Therefore, with the Royal Decree Law now repealed, the wind energy sector requests that the necessary processes be urgently activated, through a Bill or Proposal, so that in-depth debate on its content can be resumed as quickly as possible and a regulation can be designed that has the necessary support for its approval .

The Spanish wind energy sector, which generates 23% of the electricity mix, calls on all political forces to be responsible so that this type of situation does not happen again. Spain cannot afford to be without the necessary, ideologically neutral regulation that is vital to its energy, economic, and industrial future.
