The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO), through the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE), has approved a second call for aid aimed at strengthening the industrial value chain of clean technologies (RENOVAL 2) endowed with 355 million euros.

In the first call, eight projects from Madrid received the support of the Government that manages the IDAE. Almost eleven million euros arrived in the Community of Madrid to carry out investments that reached 31,221,605.33 million in solar photovoltaic and aerothermal and hydrothermal projects. Although there are several lines of aid, the projects presented and chosen in Madrid are limited to these options that allow energy savings.

The Madrid projects of the first edition

Among the projects chosen in that first call, two were located in Móstoles, although the largest investment was in Torrejón de Ardoz. It was his own

City of Torrejón de Ardoz, as an entity, which achieved, in the last call, the project with greater investment, 26 and a half million.

It was not the only City Council, also the one of Valdequemada opted for a more limited solar project in quantity, (110,000 euros) for which it received almost 80%.

Other companies that presented a project and that are usually cooperatives were COO ENERGÍA CIUDADs S.COOP with two projects in Madrid and LA CORRIENTES S COOP, a company located in Madrid that presented a project.

For Aerotermia/Hridrotermia Repsol was presented with an investment in Móstoles, of 1,411,000 euros and 800,000 aid; also in Móstoles and aerotermia presented a project MISTRAL MOSTOLES SL with an investment of more than 550,000 euros for which it received more than 275,500 euros.

Boosting Clean Technology

In line with the principles of the Pact for a Clean Industry promoted by the European Commission, this program will give a new impetus to the manufacture in Spain of clean technology equipment and its key components, including photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, hydraulic, geothermal, hydrogen, biogas, heat pumps and technologies related to energy efficiency, significantly expanding the scope compared to the previous call.

This line of incentives of the IDAE, endowed with NextGenEU funds of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), will contribute to reinforce the entire chain of innovative value and knowledge around renewable energies in Spain; both in mature technologies, in the case of solar photovoltaic and wind, and in other emerging ones, with renewable hydrogen in the foreground. Likewise, it will allow the development of new technological and industrial capacities in order to guarantee energy security, increase our competitiveness and decarbonize the industry.

The IDAE will be in charge of managing this aid, which will be granted on a competitive basis and will be implemented as a grant to be received by the beneficiary, definitively, once the eligible expenses incurred are accredited and the execution of the project is verified.

AMOUNT OF AID

The creation of industrial establishments for a new manufacturing activity of clean technology equipment and its essential components, and the expansion of capacity in existing centers through the implementation of new production lines, will be eligible for assistance. Also eligible for this program are the actions for the reconversion of existing lines for the manufacture of equipment and key elements that were not previously in production at the plant.

Two incentive programs are established. The €25 million Incentive Programme 1 will be used for projects with a budget of over €1 million and less than €30 million. For its part, program 2, with 330 million, will be reserved for projects with a bankable budget of more than 30 million.

Overall, the aid intensity will be 15% of eligible costs and will not exceed EUR 150 million per project. However, the intensity may rise to 20% and 200 million in the areas considered 'c' in the European Union, and up to 35% and 350 million in the areas 'a'. In addition, in the case of actions carried out by small companies, aid intensities may be increased by 20%; and in the case of medium-sized companies, by 10%.

Beneficiaries may apply for an advance payment that will be considered as payment on account and will be at most the amount of the total aid granted. It is also envisaged that investment projects may be supported by other European Union programmes and instruments, provided that such support does not cover the same cost. The maximum time limit for carrying out the actions subject to aid will be 48 months from the date of the resolution.

In addition to the economic criteria, projects that include strategic, social and environmental criteria such as reducing vulnerabilities, creating jobs or reducing the carbon footprint by transport, among others, will be valued positively.

ALL KINDS OF CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES

In line with Section 6 of the State Aid Framework of the Pact for a Clean Industry (CISAF), the manufacture of final products and/or specific components linked to clean technologies will be eligible, within the following lines of action:

1. Solar technologies: photovoltaic, thermal, concentrating and thermal photovoltaic collectors.

2. Terrestrial wind energy and marine renewable energy technologies: Terrestrial and marine wind turbines and tidal and wave power technologies.

3. Battery and energy storage technologies: batteries (excluding electric vehicle batteries), electrochemical, gravitational, thermal and compressed air or liquid air energy storage and flywheel storage.

4. Heat pumps and geothermal energy technologies.

5. Hydrogen technologies: electrolysers, fuel cells and other hydrogen technologies.

6. Sustainable biogas and biomethane technologies.

7. Electrical network technologies: ground and offshore substations, transport and electricity distribution towers, cables, lines and accessories for the transport and distribution of electricity, power transformers, electric charging technologies for transport and technologies for digitizing the grid and other grid technologies.

8. Hydroelectric technologies: hydraulic turbines.

9. Other renewable energy technologies: technologies for osmotic energy, environmental energy and heat pumps, biomass, landfill gas or purification plant gases.

10. Energy efficiency technologies Related to the energy system: energy management or building automation systems, heating and cooling distribution system pipes, etc.

11. Transformative Industrial Technologies for decarbonization: electric arc furnaces, direct iron reduction reactors prepared for hydrogen, industrial boilers, etc.

A SELF-SUFFICIENT ENERGY SYSTEM

Europe is currently a net importer of zero net emission energy technologies. These technologies are at the heart of important geostrategic interests and the global technological career. In this context, countries want to ensure that their supply comes from the most advanced energy production technologies and drive the clean transition. Other regions of the world are making large investments and deploying support measures to renew and strengthen their production capacities.

Spain not only has a renewable resource but also has an industrial ecosystem around the value chain of renewables that is leading at a European and global level. We can already manufacture in our country more than 60% of the solar value chain and almost 100% of the wind, and we are exporters in these technologies. However, there are certain components or elements of that value chain where both Spain and Europe have a high dependence on third markets. Hence the importance of supporting not only the deployment of the energy transition, but also of new industrial capacities, the objective of this aid programme.

Spain must seize this opportunity and strengthen the value chain of clean technology components, in order to guarantee energy security, increase our competitiveness and decarbonize the industry. This is in line with the European Union’s basic principles of digital and environmental transformation, the RepowerEU Plan and the Net-Zero Industrial Act.

CONTINUATION OF RENOVAL

This new programme continues the call for MITECO grants for projects aimed at strengthening the renewable value chain (RENOVAL), which has recently awarded 296 million to 33 projects for the manufacture of equipment and components essential for the technological and industrial development of renewable energies in Spain.

These renewable value chain calls are framed in Component 31, “Chapter REPowerEU”, of the PRTR, and will contribute to the objectives associated with it, in accordance with the regulatory regulations of the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (MRR) at national and European level.

The deadline for submitting applications to this program, the regulatory bases of which can be consulted here, includes from 9 a.m. on January 22, 2026 to 12 a.m. on February 25.
