MADRID, 18 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Industry, Commerce and Tourism Commission of the Congress of Deputies will vote on a proposal from the Popular Parliamentary Group to mitigate the energy situation in Spanish industry, through the implementation of renewable energy auctions for industrial consumers and the promotion of bilateral contracts .
This is clear from a non-legal proposal to which Europa Press has had access, where the ‘popular’ accuse a “high uncertainty” in the industry as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and demand to adopt measures that allow the industry to face the “critical situation” that is suffering.
Among these measures, the ‘popular’ urge the Government to activate the auctions of inframarginal technologies provided for in the decree of urgent measures to mitigate the impact of the escalation of gas prices. In addition, the PP calls for the possibility of direct participation in them by all interested industrial consumers to be ensured in any case.
The PP also requests at one point of the proposal to enable the possibility of having several electricity traders per supply point.
Likewise, the Popular Group also urges the Government to clarify the interpretation of Decree 10/2022, which establishes a production cost adjustment mechanism to reduce the price of electricity in the wholesale market. On the other hand, the PP requests the urgent reactivation of the interruptibility mechanisms, voluntary and paid, for both gas and electricity, adapting in this case the balancing service for active demand response.
