According to the memorandum of the Ministry of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment, one of the foundations of the text is the commitment to the own use and the energy communities“two key aspects to improve the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption”.
The share of renewable energy in final consumption, including imported electricity, is 16.6%, without that the figure stands at 10%, and the 2030 targets envisage up to 21%.
Following the publication of the Territorial Plan for the Renewable Energy Sector (PTS) this Wednesday in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country, a new public information period will begin with a period of 45 working days so that claims can be made.
