Webinar informativo del programa RENOINN 2. Renovables innovadoras, almacenamiento y bomba de calor
Summary
The RENOINN 2 program allocates 202.5 million euros to support innovative renewable energy projects in Spain, focusing on areas such as photovoltaic systems and self-consumption initiatives. This funding is crucial for advancing the country's energy transition and addressing climate change challenges.
A new aid package exceeding 2 billion euros has been introduced to accelerate decarbonization and enhance Spain's industrial competitiveness. This initiative emphasizes local community participation and environmental protection while supporting innovative renewable projects.
The second convocatoria for renewable energy projects has been launched with a budget of 200 million euros, focusing on innovative systems. The first convocatoria received 388 applications, funding 199 projects that resulted in 300 megawatts of generation and over 350 megawatt-hours of storage.
The program encompasses five areas: AgriVoltaica, floating photovoltaics, innovative renewables, self-consumption with storage, and heat pump projects, each with specific eligibility criteria. Funding is capped at 30 million euros per beneficiary to ensure equitable resource distribution among applicants.

almost between the two, they represent, it makes the 66% of the power established
funding
30 million euros EUR
maximum funding per beneficiary
This cap is intended to ensure equitable distribution of resources among applicants.
maximum it cannot exceed the limit of 30 million euros for beneficiary
generation_capacity
1,150 kW
generation potential from 1,000 kW installed
This ratio indicates the efficiency of photovoltaic technology in energy generation.
my generation's potential, which is the one I have to use for both the company and the company, as to calculate the guarantee, as we will see later, will be 1,150 kW
power
superior to 15 kilowatts
minimum individual installation size for agrivoltaic projects
This sets a baseline for project eligibility.
each one of them should be superior to 15 kilowatts
power
superior to 200 kilowatts
total power requirement for agrivoltaic projects
This ensures that projects contribute significantly to energy generation.
they should add a superior power to 200 kilowatts
agricultural_surface_area
at least 40%
minimum agricultural surface area requirement
This is crucial for maintaining agricultural productivity.
the appearance of the land on the surface of such a project should be in real time 40%
