Spain is closely aligned with the objectives of Europe and focus heavily on it energy. This was demonstrated with the ‘miracle energy’ project. Now, however, there is a historic disappointment with a country that rejects ours energy because you have something unexpected. In many areas of the developed world, everyday activities such as turning on the lights, washing machine or television are taken for granted.
However, not in all places it is possible to perform these types of gestures. In most developing areas the demand for energy It is growing and causing constant power outages and even complete shutdowns of supplies. Most supply sources are intermittent (even though they are renewable).
In fact, the production of energy Renewable energy tends to move between two distinct extremes: that of too much supply or not enough supply to meet existing demand.
This country does not trust Spanish energy
France has said “no” to increasing electrical interconnections with Spain beyond the submarine cable Vizcaya. He is still not convinced of the trans-Pyrenean projects Navarre j Aragon and will only make a special effort in the field of subsea interconnection with Basque Country. The energetic connection with France They have never been the most striking. In fact, they have been quite complex over time.
The French authorities did not make this possible Spain It will be very interconnected. Instead, they have shifted their interest to selling their products energy nuclear a Spain. In 2015, the last connection was opened in the case of Spain Through Santa Claus lodge in Catalonia and now the construction of the submarine cable of the Bay of Biscay.
This is a 2 GW project that would increase the interconnection capacity between the two countries to 5 GW. For the time being the position is France is that this will be the last project. According to a CRE report, the French energy regulator, the namesake of Spain’s CNMC, does not plan to launch any more electrical interconnection projects with Spain To complement the submarine cable proposal of the Bay of Biscay.
“The cost-benefit analyzes carried out have not shown that the benefits of the additional projects outweigh the costs, in particular due to significant congestion on the French network, important needs to strengthen upstream networks and important issues of local acceptability” , CRE report in a recent report dealing with French electrical interconnections.
France refuses to increase interconnections with Spain: what about energy?
The French regulator reports this Spain j France They have several meetings where projects are evaluated, but currently there is no feasibility for a new development. “The CRE believes that it is appropriate to deal with the various projects one after the other, giving priority to the completion of the project Bay of Biscay,” he notes.
The submarine cable project will be implemented first and what happens next will be a matter of results.
There are two other interconnection projects with France which complement those of Bay of Biscay, two cables through the Pyrenees (one through Navarre and the other through Aragon). These initiatives have generated interest in the European Unionbut that doesn’t mean that France go ahead of them. If it is an unprofitable infrastructure for any of the agents, the proposal will not work.
Something similar happened a while ago with the gas interconnection project Middle catlater renamed Step one.
Certainly, France seems to reject it energy by Spain and what happens from now on will respond to the expected results. Are you interested to know at which energy point the Spanish territory is located? Then you can’t miss the mountain that Spain is going to drill. It represents 100 million tons of new material energy.
