Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has introduced a €2.3bn package to bolster the country's energy transition, emphasizing green hydrogen and renewable energy subsidies. The plan comprises four programs targeting hydrogen, green industries, agriculture, infrastructure, and village transitions to green energy. This initiative follows Madrid's approval of a €794m subsidy for 652MW of green hydrogen projects. Spain is positioning itself as a European green hydrogen powerhouse, with three out of seven projects receiving subsidies earmarked for the pilot European Hydrogen Bank auction. The government plans to invest in major hydrogen production, transport, and development projects across the nation, aiming to achieve 11GW of green hydrogen production by 2030. To support this goal, Spain intends to increase wind generation, solar generation, and power storage capacities significantly. Prime Minister Sanchez envisions Spain as a global leader in decarbonisation, underpinned by renewable hydrogen. These efforts underscore Spain's commitment to sustainability and leadership in the renewable energy sector.
