The Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Theresa Riverahas opted for “savings and efficiency” in the gas mileage and has assured that the Spanish government does not take into account “the hypothesis of introducing rationing or restrictions for any type of consumer”.
Ribera made these statements in the Port of Bilbaowhere he attended the launch of the floating offshore wind turbine DemoSATH, and where, in response to media inquiries, he referred to the brussels plan to reduce gas consumption by 15%.
After pointing out that they will have to see “what the Commission’s specific proposal is”, the minister emphasized that “there is a very strong call for solidarity” and that “Spain is a country committed to solidarity, but we need to see the best way to offer solidarity”.
He believes that “it is probably more related to the capacity” of regasification and storage of Spain to “support the Member States that depended on the gas that arrived via a gas pipeline” and confirmed that the government of Spain “is committed to ” to consumers household and industrial.
Consumers ‘don’t deserve to see restrictions now’
“Spain is going to show solidarity with the rest of Europe, but our solidarity is much more useful if we can use our infrastructure to supply the rest of Europe with gas, rather than at the expense of some Spanish domestic and industrial consumers who have long ago pay a very high bill because they have exactly one energy islandhe pointed out.
He has emphasized that the Spain’s regasification capacity “represents more than 30% of total European capacity” and that Spain is “the main gateway for liquefied natural gas in Europe” and has ensured that this is reflected in the bills of consumers who “do not deserve the restrictions now”.
The minister considered it necessary to “bet on savings and efficiency” and to “find out how some consumption can be replaced by others, to what extent it can be replaced”, but has stated that the government has “understood the hypothesis of introducing neither rationing nor restrictions for any type of consumer”.
Ribera has assured that “there is a general belief” that Russia will “sooner or later” stop supplying Europe and that Europe itself “wants to do without Russia as the main supplier of gas, coal, oil and enriched uranium”.
