Nuevos mercados de "PPA" en España
A lo largo del año 2017 nace en España un nuevo mercado de Contratos de Compraventa de Energía (PPA), principalmente debido a la necesidad de estructuración de deuda a largo plazo de proyectos de generación de energía renovable tras la desaparición del régimen retributivo que les venía siendo de aplicación. Esta situación se ve agudizada por la aprobación por el gobierno de una serie de subastas (más de 8 mil MW adjudicados) para la asignación del régimen retributivo específico a nuevas instalaciones de producción de energía renovable.
New PPA markets in Spain
Year 2017 saw the emergence of a new market for Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Spain, primarily due to renewable power generation projects needing to structure their long-term debt since the disappearance of the subsidised remunerative system that they previously enjoyed. The market has also been further boosted by the Spanish government approving a series of power auctions (more than 8,000 MW have been awarded) to allocate what is known as "specific remuneration" to new renewable energy generation plants.
