Timeline highlights
00:00–05:00
The UK aims to transition from fossil fuel-based co-generation to renewable energy sources, which could lead to reduced energy costs and lower dependence on external energy supplies.
- The webinar focuses on the second commuting of the UK regarding electricity and heat production through co-generation using fossil fuels.
- Participants can ask questions during the webinar, which will be addressed online or compiled in a document for later publication.
- The Energy Novel directive from 2018 sets a binding objective of 42.5% for energy consumption.
- There is an annual increase of 1.1% in the source of energy for heat and cold consumption since 2020.
- Spain aims for 48% renewable energy in final energy use by 2030, which is more ambitious than the renewable directive.
- The recovery plan includes investments in clean infrastructure to transition from fossil energy to a clean energy system.
05:00–10:00
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources in industrial settings leads to increased funding and project implementation for renewable energy generation.
- The decarbonization program focuses on transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable resources, particularly in industrial settings.
- In 2023, 25 projects were submitted, with 16 selected for funding, totaling nearly 50 million euros.
- The projects generated 140 megawatts of electric power and thermal energy from renewable sources.
- The first convocatorial primarily supported photovoltaic electricity and biomass thermal energy production.
- The second convocatorial, approved in December 2025, aims to continue advancing renewable installations in co-generation systems using fossil fuels.
- This second round of funding also allocates 50 million euros for projects utilizing various renewable sources, including solar, geothermal, and hydrothermal energy.
10:00–15:00
The second convocatorial allocates a budget of €150 million for project submissions, enabling multiple projects with a maximum limit of €15 million each, fostering investment in the sector.
- The presentation of projects will begin on Monday at 9 am and end on Tuesday at 1 pm, with a recommendation to avoid last-minute submissions due to potential server issues.
- The second convocatorial has a total budget of $150 million euros, with a maximum limit of 15 million euros per project, not per beneficiary.
- A minimum investment of 50,000 euros is required for project submissions, which is considered manageable given the typical project costs.
- The execution period for projects is set until June 30, 2026, allowing for a comfortable timeframe to navigate necessary permits and project stages.
- Documentation for project justification must be submitted three months after the project execution deadline, similar to the first convocatorial.
- The order regulating this convocatorial was modified in December to accommodate new submissions, with the final resolution expected before summer.
15:00–20:00
A plan has been established to provide financial aid for renewable energy projects, which will enhance energy production capabilities.
- A plan has been established to provide a maximum amplifiable aid of 31 and 100 from 2019, with a small margin for project initiation.
- Economic guarantees are required for the second convocatorial, necessitating a valid execution guarantee of 10% of the aid amount.
- Anticipated payments of up to 80% of the health care of the council are allowed, contingent on an economic guarantee.
- The aid line is designed for a specific collective of beneficiaries, including both private and public entities.
- Beneficiaries must own a co-generation plant or waste treatment facility that meets specific regulatory conditions.
- The mandatory retributive regime can be renounced within 18 months of the definitive resolution of the aid.
20:00–25:00
The expansion of electric and thermal generation capacity to three times the current levels facilitates project approvals, enhancing energy production potential.
- The electric storage system discussed includes thermal energy installations from biomass, biogas, hydrothermal energy, and solar energy.
- Thermal storage systems are common and not seen as significant barriers for project approval.
- The potential generation capacity can be tripled for both electric and thermal power, providing a comfortable margin for project submissions.
- Projects must be completed from the beginning, and costs incurred before the project initiation are not eligible for subsidies.
- Existing equipment can be incorporated into projects, but costs for non-new systems cannot be included in the subsidizable expenses.
- Documentation for user assistance is available as per the usual convocatorial requirements.
25:00–30:00
The requirement for extensive documentation by September 30, 2029, ensures compliance and transparency in biomass and biogas projects, impacting project timelines and funding.
- The documentation for the co-generation plant includes details on residues and is based on a specific technical regime for biomass and biogas projects.
- There is a deadline for project documentation presentation set for September 30 of the year 29, as outlined in article 22 of the basis order.
- Documentation includes information on the origin and components of the project, compatibility with NSH, and execution recommendations.
- A significant amount of documentation is required, and support is provided to assist in the preparation of this documentation.
- The calculation of the import of the help is explained through a block diagram, detailing how costs are calculated for installations.
- The subventionable cost is determined by the financial cost of the installation divided by the nominal power, ensuring transparency in the calculation process.
