Spain embarked on an ambitious plan to decarbonize and entirely rely on renewables for power generation. It laid out a comprehensive plan for phasing out coal fired power generation. Repsol, the country’s leading oil and gas company, has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050 and Iberdrola operates over 27 GW capacity in Spain and Brazil, UK, Mexico and the US. Spain’s hydro, solar and wind resources as well as pivotal location close to Africa make it a decarbonisation hub that can also impact neighbouring markets. Ifri’s Center for Energy & Climate aims to discuss Spain’s energy and climate policies as well as Spain’s views and positions with regards to the EU energy and climate policies.
