POWER: Spanish Wind Association Urges Faster Permitting to Meet Wind Targets

POWER

Spain's wind lobby AEE is urging the government to streamline permitting, reinforce Europe's supply chains, and boost electrification to meet the 2030 goal of doubling wind capacity, it said, cited by Reuters.

  • Spain is targeting 62GW of wind by 2030, up from 31GW currently.
  • President of the AEE Rocio Sicre noted that this poses a "huge challenge," given that Spain has only added around 1GW this year and 607MW in 2023.
  • “The most important is the pace of permitting that we have experienced mainly in the years 2020-2022, which has proven to be insufficient", Sicre added.
