Pradales is therefore planning to “unbridled and promote” the path of energy transition and decoupling of industry. The Lehendakari clarifies that the proposal “is not trying to break the balance” of the electrical system.
Given the current situation and the short-medium term of needs to new electric current, the Lehendakari, Pradales Imanolwill propose in the Presidents Conferenceto stick to this Friday in Barcelona, “Unlocked and promotes” The path of energy transition and carbon -poor of the industry in the Basque autonomous community (CAV), as EITB has known.
To do this, he will increase the need to engage An “exceptional investment mechanism” In electrical networks in the CAV and other autonomous communities that require this, that can “respond effectively” to the challenges of industrial electrification.
Pradales clarifies that the proposal “Don’t try to break the balance” of the electrical system, but “adjust to a reality that requires greater flexibility and strategic vision.”
The Lehendakari is of the opinion “It’s urgent” change the network investment system (transport and distribution) “More flexible” And that “the investment level is being increased.”
To do this, he says “Relax planning” of electric networks to at least assess Every two years (instead of the current five years), adaptation to the established European regulations. That is, reduce the planning times of the electrical networks.
Positive discrimination and increasing investment limits
Moreover, he wants to “prioritize” investments in electrical networks, “With regard to territorial balance”Based on the weight of the electro-intense industry of each of the autonomous communities of the Spanish state.
That is why he wants a “positive discrimination” when making investments in the electric distribution and transport networks in the Industrial basic economies Such as the Basque, Navarra, Catalan, Galician or Andalusian. That is, the capacities of the electricity grid are expanding in those areas with “concrete industrial projects” and “defined urgent needs”.
In addition, De Lehendakari proposes to increase the restrictions for investments that are located in electrical networks In 2014Approving “an instrument of exceptions”, as the one who had already been approved to illuminate the effects of the Dana in Valencia, for those places, such as the CAV, which “we urgently have to activate dozens of projects for industrial dicarbonization.”
Legal precedent
Pradales therefore refers to the existence of a legal precedent, that of The Dana; that “opens new possibilities.” “The stiffness of the regulatory framework for investments in electrical networks has been one of the most important obstacles for years to adjust the energy infrastructure to the needs of the ecological transition,” he criticized.
The tenant of Ajuria Enea is of the opinion that the Royal Decree Act 7/2024, approved after the serious damage caused by the October Dana of that year, is “perfectly extrapolable for other strategic scenarios”, as the person who lives the CAV in his industrial electrification process.
Energy quota
To perform the approach, according to Pradales, the Basque government is willing to promote investments by a Management And then on the basis of the income derived from the use of these networks and through the financial instruments agreed with the Government of Spain, the advanced funds are recovered.
