Webinar informativo del programa RENOVAL 2: cadena de valor industrial de tecnologías limpias
Summary
RENOVAL 2 is a program aimed at enhancing the industrial value chain of clean technologies in Spain, with a budget of 355 million euros. It focuses on energy security, competitiveness, and decarbonization of the industry, addressing the dependency on third countries for renewable technology components.
The program expands upon previous initiatives, introducing a new aid line that includes a broader range of technologies linked to the energy transition. It aims to support projects that enhance manufacturing capabilities in renewable energy and storage, while also ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Eligible projects must demonstrate an incentivator effect, leading to actual investments in manufacturing capabilities. The program outlines specific subveneciable costs, including factory installations and equipment purchases, while excluding certain costs like taxes and personal expenses.
The selection process for funding involves a competitive evaluation based on established criteria, including economic, strategic, social, and environmental factors. Projects must score well across these criteria to secure funding, with additional points available for using renewable technologies and engaging local suppliers.

05:00–10:00
Renoval 2 is a program with a budget of 365 million euros aimed at enhancing the industrial value chain of clean technologies in Spain. It expands the previous support line to include a broader range of technologies linked to the energy transition.
- Renoval 2, developed within the context of CISAPO, aims to provide a stable environment for long-term industrial projects linked to the energy transition. This new support line expands the scope of the previous convocatorial by including a broader range of technologies beyond the five initially covered
- The budget for Renoval 2 is set at 365 million euros, part of the recovery plan for transformation and resilience. The regulatory bases for this convocatorial were approved on December 2, 2025, and published in the BoE, establishing the normative framework for these aid lines
- The convocatorial is designed to reinforce the industrial value chain of clean technologies and their key components. It supports a competitive environment where all aid requests will be evaluated simultaneously, ensuring a centralized and fair assessment process
10:00–15:00
The aid line is designed for legally constituted entities to invest in the renewable energy value chain and storage, excluding installation projects. It is financed by the European Union's recovery plan and requires compliance with environmental standards.
- The aid line will publish a definitive resolution based on the order of punctuation, and beneficiaries must be legally constituted entities, not individuals, meeting the obligations in the regulatory bases
- This aid line is financed by the recovery plan through European Union energy funds, aimed at investing in the renewable energy value chain and storage
- Beneficiaries must comply with the principle of not causing significant environmental damage, with a model for evaluation available electronically
