Spain will hold a renewable energy auction for its islands in the first quarter of 2017, according to the Ministry of Energy and Tourism.

Spain’s new energy minister has confirmed plans for a much-anticipated 3GW of renewable auctions, but concerns remain over the parameters of the tenders.

Renewable energy companies in Spain are making claims against banks for misleading them over complex financial products since the economic crisis.

Spain’s new minority government is set to herald a new wave of gigawatt-scale renewable tenders and its lack of majority may even lead to the lifting of a controversial ‘Sun Tax’ on solar self-consumption.

Spain’s Supreme Court has ruled against appeals claiming that the Popular Party’s cutbacks on the feed-in-tariff (FiTs) for solar in 2013 and 2014 were retroactive.

The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that solar PV companies and investors should be compensated by the Spanish administration over historic amendments to the feed-in-tariff (FiT) policy for new installations.

Spanish parties representing a majority in parliament have signed an agreement to remove the controversial Royal Decree against self-consumption of solar energy within 100 days of a government being formed.

Two Spanish parties have presented non-legislative proposals to repeal some of the most harming aspects of the Royal Decree against self-consumption of solar energy in Spain.

Spain’s Constitutional Court has published the full details of its judgement rejecting appeals against a decrease in feed-in tariffs for renewable energy sources, but the reasoning has been branded “short, superficial and alien to reality” by a legal representative.

Spain’s Constitutional Court has rejected an appeal by the Spanish region of Murcia against retroactive cuts on the use of solar power, according to a release from the Spanish Government.
