Our newest member, Federación de Consumidores y Usuarios CECU, is working with the International Energy Agency (IEA) to make recommendations on the future of Spain’s energy policy. They explain why Spain needs a decisive movement towards electrification now: “A rapid and orderly transition toward efficient and renewable heating, cooling, and domestic hot water systems, as well as toward a more energy-efficient housing stock, is beneficial from every perspective. To make this happen, a public policy that unambiguously promotes the necessary investments is required,” their submission says. “From the perspective of public management, the window of opportunity for an orderly, fair, and cost-efficient transition is open now; failing to take advantage of it would result in a more expensive, more unequal, and more difficult transition to manage.” Read their whole submission in Spanish:

Naturgy and ID Energy to invest €500M in Spanish biomethane plants Naturgy and ID Energy Group are joining forces to build 20 new biomethane plants across Spain, committing an impressive €500 million. These facilities are set to convert organic waste into renewable gas, boosting Spain’s renewable energy capacity and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. This signals a growing shift in Spain’s approach to circular energy solutions. Together, these plants could generate 1,000 GWh annually, enough to power nearly 500,000 homes. It reflects how biogas is becoming a serious contender in the renewable mix, not only for energy security but also for decarbonizing heavy sectors. According to Jose Luis Gil, Director of Renewable Gases at Naturgy, "this alliance accelerates the development of biomethane in Spain" whereas the investment aligns with broader European sustainability goals, including emissions reduction and waste valorization. Julio Espadas, Director of ID Energy Group, adds that "having an industrial partner of the stature of Naturgy represents a great opportunity for the energy sector". What stands out is the scale and ambition — projects like this accelerate Spain’s renewable gas future far beyond pilot stages.

🗣️ #Quoteoftheweek with Sara Linares Calero, Iberdrola As part of the launch of our new paper ahead of the 2026 AFIR review, we are sharing key insights from members across the Platform for Electromobility. The paper sets out 11 concrete recommendations to secure a predictable, demand-driven, and consumer-friendly roll-out of charging infrastructure in Europe. It calls for a holistic approach across public and private charging, stronger investor confidence, clearer policy signals, and measures that support both market growth and the day-to-day charging experience. This week’s highlighted quote captures one of the most persistent bottlenecks identified in the paper: “𝘐𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘴.

Iberdrola has confirmed that Spanish grid operator Red Eléctrica de España (REE) identified its 500 MW Núñez de Balboa solar plant as the source of Spain’s April 28 blackout. But the Bilbao-based utility has denied responsibility, claiming REE failed to ensure adequate voltage control and schedule sufficient synchronous generation. #Photovoltaics #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy

In the recent analysis published by Infoenergética, Spain’s first energy storage support program and its broader impact on the sector were examined. Our Managing Director Ruben Valiente shared Maxxen’s perspective, stating: “At Maxxen, we welcome the program’s recognition and appreciation of European content. We currently hold a certified score of 4.2 and continue our certification process to reach 5.0 — supported by a factory with an annual production capacity of 5 GWh.” He also emphasized the importance of strengthening Europe-based battery manufacturing and the value it brings to the region’s long-term energy resilience.

Back from the Energy Tech Summit in Bilbao ⚡🌍 a quick moment captured on-site 📸 Over two days, the event brought together investors, startups, corporates, and energy leaders, all focused on one thing: how to scale the next phase of the energy transition. From our conversations on-site, including those led by our CEO, Krasimir Kolev, one shift stood out: 👉 The challenge is no longer access to capital or assets, it’s execution in the market. As renewable and battery portfolios grow, the complexity of operating them is increasing faster than most organisations can adapt. Short-term markets require real-time decisions, constant risk management, and systems that can scale without adding layers of manual work. This is where we see the gap widening, between those still operating with traditional setups and those moving toward algorithmic, automated trading. At TokWise, this is exactly where we focus, enabling energy companies to run their own trading operations with the systems needed to act in real time, stay in control, and scale efficiently. Great to connect with so many people shaping what comes next. #EnergyTech #EnergyMarkets #ClimateTech
