Spain has unveiled two new funding programs totaling €405 million to accelerate its energy transition and strengthen domestic clean-technology manufacturing. Managed by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO) and IDAE, the initiatives aim to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy while positioning Spain as a competitive hub in Europe’s clean-tech value chain. The first program, RENOCogen, allocates €50 million to renewable cogeneration and waste-treatment projects, supporting technologies such as biogas, biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower with storage.
The second and larger call, worth €355 million, focuses on scaling up clean-tech manufacturing in Spain, targeting components such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, electrolysers, and heat pumps. Grants will cover up to 35% of eligible costs, with higher caps for projects located in designated assisted regions. Additional incentives are provided for small and medium-sized enterprises and for investments in areas undergoing economic or demographic transition.
Officials emphasized that the schemes are designed not only to cut emissions but also to enhance Spain’s strategic autonomy and industrial competitiveness amid growing global demand for clean-energy technologies. The funding follows strong momentum in Spain’s renewable sector, which added nearly 9GW of new capacity in 2025, mainly from solar and wind power.
