At WindEurope's Annual Event 2024 in Bilbao, Spain's Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge Teresa Ribera, the President of the Spanish Wind Energy Association Juan Diego Díaz today signed the ‘Spanish Wind Charter'. The Charter identifies actions to accelerate the expansion of wind energy in Spain – and to maximise its social and economic benefits.
The Charter sets out six lines of action for the development of the wind energy sector and specifies the tools to carry out these lines of action:
- More visibility and robustness in wind energy planning;
- Improved wind energy auction design, giving greater weight to account non-price criteria (as opposed to price-only auctions);
- Better coordination between wind energy companies;
- Increased predictability and the promotion of long-term agreements;
- Monitoring of international trade practices to avoid unfair competition;
- Reinforcing Spain's wind energy manufacturing capacities.
