The energy of marine origin, also called “blue energy”, is one of the levers for the Energy transformation in the medium and long term at the local level, as in the case of the Canary Islands, National, European and Worldwide. But at the same time it is an industrial, economic and social opportunity, which is consistent and compatible with the protection of environmental horses and the rest of the use and activities of the marine environment.
Marine Wind accelerates its technological and industrial development, making its implementation throughout Spain viable thanks to the concepts related to the Floating marine wind that makes his effort in deep water possible.
Due to the high capacity factors, the Marine Wind can generate electricity in a stable and predictable wayIncreasing its production in autumn and winter stations, of lower solar radiation and greater consumption.
It therefore presents one High complementarity with other renewable energiescontribute to delivery security, offering added value to the needs of the energy system and making the available endogenous sources possible
Marine Wind is the future for the Canary Islands
The Ministry of ecological transition and energy of the Government of the Canary Islands, led by Mariano Hernández Zapata, has The IV Marine Wind Energy Mesa met to coordinate with the agents of the sector And analyze the progress for the implementation of this clean energy in the archipelago.
In that sense, the implementation of the Green Training Program, linked to the development of jobs and training with regard to this topic, was tackled in this call, in addition to dealing with the help of Canary Islands, In addition to Proexca, to the next edition of the annual event organized by the Wind Europe (Main Wind Energy Association in Europe), which will be held in Copenhagen at the beginning of April.
During the meeting, the counselor Zapata presented to the members of the table the work that is being carried out for the elaboration of this plan, “a tool that comes from the changes to the Climate Change and Energy Transition Act that was approved last June” Promote training and employment in productive sectors within the so -driven green economy“Identify those growth areas and therefore prefer the employability of employees of the Canary Islands “.
“The The transition to a deskless economy does not only include traditional sectors such as energy or industry“, The counselor explained,” but also implies emerging sectors such as sustainable tourism, electric mobility or circular economy.
Vocational training and green jobs
In this way he explained that the ministry is being destroyed in its development of the Ministry of Education, Professional Training, Physical Activity and Sport, as well as the Canarian Employment Service, and the Ministry of Science and Universities of Canary Islands, In what is “A coordinated and transversal work of the entire executive power“.
With this, concrete actions are sought, such as the implementation of continuous re -hallification and training programs for employees, achieving an educational alliance with companies and institutions or the consciousness and the professional orientation from primary training to university.
Moreover, he remembered that the elaboration of this program starts with a question from the sector itself on this table, and invited the representatives mentioned “to continue working together to define an effective and realistic document” that makes the islands an ideal environment to lead innovation in innovation in Marine wind energy and positions the Canary Islands as an international reference“.
Similarly, another of the things discussed was the role that Canarias will play in the next edition of the Wind Europe, the Annual wind energy event that will be held in Copenhagen at the beginning of April And whose delegation will be led by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Energy and Proexca, which is accompanied by nine other Canary institutions and twelve companies in the sector that represent the value chain.
In this way, Zapata defined this congress as “an excellent opportunity” to confirm the unity of again Canary Islands y Place the islands and its companies as a region that is’ more than prepared and coordinated To take on the challenge for the installation of the first Navy Wind Park in Spain ”.
‘The government of Canary Islands And the sector is aligned and these discussion tables are just one of the examples, “explained the counselor, which emphasized the will of the archipelago of being ‘ Pioneers and so build some more self -sufficient, Pointer islands that generate an industry from the development of offshore in the Canary Islands“.
“We know it is a capital challenge, but We are convinced of the potential of our territory and the companies in the sector“, He said, also emphasizes that the development of the green training plan” will be essential to have qualified work and achieve these ambitious objectives.
For his part, Pablo Martín Carbajal, CEO and director of Proexca Marine wind chain announces their capacity and position themselves in the focus of potential investors They try to develop offshore projects on the islands Canary Islands “.
