Historic shock plan in REE to prevent the power grid from collapsing
El Gobierno cede a la presión de cientos de empresas y obliga a Red Eléctrica a invertir 30% más. Es la mayor redimensión eléctrica española ante la avalancha de data centers y otros planes. Leer
The Spanish government has increased its investment in the country's high-voltage power grid by 30%, to €17,000 million by 2030, in response to pressure from hundreds of companies. The decision was announced by Minister for Ecological Transition Sara Aagesen, and is aimed at addressing the saturation of the electrical system caused by a surge in data centers and other projects.
The investment will be managed by Red Eléctrica (REE), a subsidiary of Redeia, and is seen as crucial to supporting the growth of industries and preventing power outages. The move follows criticism of the government's handling of the issue, including a major power outage in April 2025.
