The assessment of the Directive on renewable energy sourcesknown as Rediii (III)” made to achieve the goal of 55% (suitable for 55%)and whose ambition increased In response to the invasion of Ukraine with Repower EU, it imposes the European Union that uses renewable energies in such a way that it can achieve the new goal in renewable (at least 42.5% renewable production in 2030)).
Certainly, This will contribute to the worldwide renewable energy, because it requires the first world balance assumed in Dubai’s COP28.
An essential element to achieve objective 42.5 is simplifying and accelerating the authorization procedures of the renewable projects, which eliminates the unnecessary administrative burden.
Anyway, This cannot be done to the detriment of environmental and territorial integrity. To do this, Member States must perform A plan (or several plans, if implemented by technology) that identify the most suitable areas to organize the renewable implementation.
These are mentioned Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar)consisting of terrestrial, inner and marine areas that are sufficiently homogeneous in the It is not expected that the use of one or more types of renewable energy sources will have a significant impact on the environment, for surfaces where there has already been a human intervention, that is, of an artificial or constructed nature, such as roofs of buildings, mines, farms and industrial areas, among others.
Is Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) Will be part of the Cartography, coordinated with local and autonomic authorities, which must be carried out for the installation of renewable energy plants and their evacuation infrastructure, such as network and storage facilities to achieve in 2030 the objectives of penetration of renewable energy of 48% and an electrical system with renewable -Based Generation of the 81% Planned in the update of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC).
A report About the principles that should lead to an indication of Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) What Respect nature and local communities.
Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar)
For a correct indication of Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar)” It is necessary to use binding environmental sensitivity maps based on the latest scientific data, real and effective participation throughout the entire process and a rigorous strategic environmental assessment of designation plans.
For environmental organizations, Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) They have to Priority in urban, industrial soils, artificial surfaces, infrastructure and degraded areas.
Within the framework of your campaign Responsible renewable energy sources and from Life Clima 1.5 ProjectSEO/Birdlife presents the report today “Rector principles in the designation of gear areas for renewable development (ZAR)”. This document analyzes the European guidelines and details ten principles to ensure that the use of renewable energies in Spain is fast (it must be power until 2030), efficient and respectful for the environment and local communities.
Around the climatic and energy objectives that year and reach climate neutrality before the middle -century, EU member states must end strongly on the use of fossil fuels and Go to a fully renewable energy system.
This requires one Fast and massive use of renewable energywhat should go accompanied by an improvement in energy efficiency and a drastic reduction in energy consumption.
To successfully achieve the implementation of renewable energy with the necessary speed and scale, it is essential to one Coherent, coordinated and participation in planning, both at a strategic and territorial level.
We are at a crucial moment to decide whether we are doing things right or wrong. There are only three months left to complete a coordinated cartography and one year for the designation of renewable gear areas, in accordance with the mandate of the European Renewable Energy Treatment Directive.
If we are not the right bases now, this process runs the risk that is carried out without the necessary participation and transparency.
Rustural principles for the designation of acceleration areas for renewable energy (TAR)
The report proposes ten principles that it would be necessary to take into account the designation of renewable gear areas in a way that is compatible with biodiversity and social rights:
- The designation of Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) in Spain must describe and support the transition to a 100% renewable energy system in 2040.
- Weld Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) They must be priority in the Urban and industrial soils such as roofs, artificial surfaces and built infrastructure.
- The Identification of acceleration areas for renewable development, it must be harmonized and consistent in the territoryAccording to integrated strategic space planning.
- The Identification of potential gear zones It must be based on the use of available environmental sings for specific technologies where the latest scientific data are integrated (the Ministry for Ecological Translation and Demographic Challenge, various autonomous communities and environmental organizations have provided cartographies that must be taken into account).
- The identification of the potential gear areas must exclude each area of high environmental sensitivity and priorize spaces outside the borders and influence areas to minimize the effects on biodiversity.
- In the selection of Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) can Promise coexistence with other ground use, such as agriculture, and preservation of biodiversityProvided that they make maximizing space possible and offer environmental and social benefits.
- The designation plans of Renewable Energy Acceleration Zones (ZAR) must be subject to full and participated strategic environmental evaluations.
- Because the Renewable Energy Directive forces the public acceptance of the Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar)” It is necessary to promote the real and effective participation of society from the early stages of the process.
- In the designation of Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar)A Great transparencyWith access to clear information, guaranteeing informed and participatory decision -making.
- In the designation of Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar)of They must include periodic monitoring and assessment mechanisms to adjust them to new scientific and technological progress.
Legal deadlines are ‘the return of the corner’
Ecologist organizations consider it essential to take into account these principles to ensure that renewable energies unfold quickly, sustainable and honestly, protect our natural environment and offer certainty about where they can find their projects with the minimum environmental impact, avoiding social conflicts and allegations in their processing.
The reviving energy guideline revives that the Member States will support a faster use of renewable energy projects by carrying out a coordinated cartography for the implementation of renewable energy and the corresponding infrastructure before 21 May 2025 and the indication of a subset of areas that are identified as gear areas For the development of renewable energy Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) For one or more types of renewable energy sources before February 21, 2026.
Weld Gear zones for renewable energy (tsar) Deberán Be country and marine areas high -homogeneous in which it is not expected that the use of renewable energies will have a significant impact.
Responsible renewable energy sources: an ‘imperative’ obligation
Responsible with the responsible campaign, it is repeated that the fight against the climatic crisis should go hand in hand with the preservation of biodiversity.
The report that is being presented today wants to be a practical tool so that administrations, promoters and network managers work towards a coordinated way Energy transition that BeneedLife Climate 1.5
He Life Climate Project 1.5 This unites 14 organizations for the environment, social societies, To place the magnifying glass on climate policy from 13 countries of the European UnionTo know their proposals and value if they are in accordance with what the current ecological crisis requires.
Since 2021, environmental organizations have been offering Information about how Spain is transformation to an economy and the society with little carbon to Horizon 2030.
He Climate observatoryAs an online, visual, simple and intuitive tool, it makes it possible to compare historical data of greenhouse gas emissions and energy indicators with the trajectories set in the PNIEC (first version and updated version).
By different graphs, Every person or interested entity can know the evolution of greenhouse gas emissions in Spainfrom the Energy consumption O of The penetration of renewable energyAs well as monitoring the state of regional regulations in climatic and energy cases.
