As for wind farms and photovoltaic installations, the consultant affirms that they should have “all guarantees”, although she insists that if you want to reduce energy dependence “you have to install them anyway”. In this context, he defends “public-private” initiative projects.

Despite the various “uncertainties” plaguing the European economy, the Minister of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment of the Basque Government, Arantxa Tapiaglimpse”dynamicsamong Basque companies.
“There is uncertainty, but it seems that our companies are used to it. There is a will to contract and make investments, to remain competitive,” he assured in an interview with Euskadi Irratia’s “Faktoria” program. However, he does not rule out that 2023 could be “a difficult year”.
Asked about the renewable energy and on the energy transition law, currently under consideration, Tapia has expressed hope that the 78 projects that the Basque government wants to implement will be realized, “as long as they meet all the conditions and with all the guarantees”. “This means that we will significantly increase energy capacity and that our companies will have access to local and renewable energy,” he stressed. At the discretion of the consultant “If we want to reduce dependency, we have to tell them yes or yes”.
With regard to the model to follow, Tapia gave the example of the photovoltaic project in Álava —Ekiola, a joint project of the Basque energy entity, the Mondragon Corporation and Iberdrola—. “The Basque country is very small and we need the public and private sectors to work together,” he argued, adding that in this case 30 companies benefit.
Finally, it has spoiled EH Bildu’s attitude in this kind of project. “In this case they are against it because Iberdrola is there, but then they are supporting another project that is being promoted by a private company because it is Norwegian…” he said ironically.
