Spain Calls for Capacity Mechanism

POWER

Spanish support for gas-fired power plants with capacity mechanisms is “urgent and necessary,” president of Spanish Gas Association Joan Batalla said, cited by XM.

  • The increase in renewable capacity in the region, gas-fired power plants can be an important support, Batalla said.
  • "We hope that the regulation enabling the deployment of capacity mechanisms can materialise quickly," Batalla added.
  • This is due to capacity mechanisms designed to ensure the network's reliability by producing power when demand is high.
  • Spain is targeting 62GW of wind capacity by 2030, while its PV capacity is at about 32GW currently.
