Overview
- The draft transmission plan to 2030 prioritizes serving new industrial demand and integrating 159 GW of renewables and more than 22 GW of storage, with funding split across network reinforcement (25%), new interlinks (23%) and distribution support (16%).
- Red Eléctrica reported sudden voltage swings, prompting CNMC to process time‑limited measures that include slowing renewable injection from about 2 to 15 minutes and expanding the operator’s ability to direct conventional plants and require participation in secondary regulation.
- Catalonia says the plan unlocks electricity for desalination, port electrification, petrochemical decarbonization and major investments such as an AI facility and a Lotte components plant, while it prepares claims for more connection points and to bring forward the Vic–Olvan line.
- Madrid’s regional government warns that delaying capacity could jeopardize roughly 70,000 homes, as the ministry’s document flags southeast, southwest and east housing developments for future support that could be advanced after the consultation, alongside extensive reinforcements to the capital’s grid.
- Galicia is assigned roughly 2.5% of national funds (around €330–350 million) with many projects focused in A Coruña while Lugo lacks new reinforcements, and northern Córdoba’s long‑sought upgrades are deferred beyond 2030 pending additional study on environmental grounds.
