Spain's 2020 GW, 2020, but the political difficulties make its clean energy transformation risk

Spain will hold a new poll, the Spanish solar industry warned that due to the failure of politicians to form a government agreement, Spain's clean energy transformation faces further delays and uncertainties.


After the latest round of coalition negotiations is in trouble, Spain will hold elections ahead of November 10. The Clean Energy Agency FER regrets Spain’s “missing opportunities”.


Dealing with such an emergency can only rely on "stable government and bold, firm policies," and the law must be consistent with the "urgency" of the announcement.


FER lists the policy aspects that it believes need urgent reforms and says that Spain has “laged behind for ten years” compared to neighboring countries, and political stagnation will worsen this backward situation.


The need to “deeply reform” the power sector to achieve net zero emissions requires effort from all walks of life to make electricity billing more transparent. As coal and nuclear energy are phased out, Spain must act quickly to develop green tax policies, promote electric vehicles, promote self-use and improve energy efficiency.


This week, Acting President Pedro Sánchez blamed Spain's new elections on other parties, claiming that his efforts to “make everything possible” to build alliances have proved to be useless.


Earlier this year, Sánchez's Workers' Socialist Party proposed a multi-billion euro renewable energy construction plan, but the political deadlock made the plan even more uncertain. As part of the climate plan, this plan is subject to approval by Spanish parliamentarians.


The plan sets targets for 8.4 GW (2020) and 37 GW (2030) PV installed capacity. After cutting back on the retrospective feed-in tariff policy formulated by the former government in the early 21st century, this plan is regarded as Spain's recent progress.


Since then, the Sánchez government has carried out major grid upgrades and promoted power generation for self-use, overturning the “sun tax” enacted in 2015, and the Sánchez government is still paying millions of euros in fines for the feed-in tariff policy.


To a large extent, PV operators are welcoming new directions and calling on the policy planner and Minister of Ecological Transformation Teresa Ribera to continue working after the election.


However, the solar industry has also urged the reform of Spain's current electricity billing program. In order to ensure that power generation is not impeded, the fixed portion of Spain's electricity bills is higher than in other European countries.


Given that foreign companies are delivering multiple large projects that have signed power purchase agreements or are fully commercialized, policy stagnation is unlikely to have a major impact on the fate of the Spanish utility PV sector.


Spain is also a big customer of Bluesun, 330w mono solar panel, 390 watt mono solar panel, 340w poly solar panel is a product that customers often ask.
