Las barreras regulatorias impiden a los operadores financiar nuevos proyectos de energía limpia necesarios para cumplir los objetivos climáticos, según Wood Mackenzie.

El objetivo era aumentar las horas de luz solar para reducir el gasto en electricidad. Hoy en día, los avances tecnológicos han anulado este beneficio.

A finales de año, la firma china introducirá en su nuevo MG4 EV Urban las baterías de estado semisólido convirtiéndose en la primera marca en introducirlas en el mercado.

Solo en este 2026 va a poner en marcha 2.000 MW en países como España, Alemania, Polonia o Italia.

Entre diciembre de 2025 y marzo de 2026, la comunidad pasa de una situación prácticamente sin hueco en la red a disponer de un margen significativo.

Un nuevo informe de BIP subraya que esta evolución técnica permitirá monitorizar el consumo en tiempo real, combatiendo el fraude y optimizando la red para combustibles sostenibles. No obstante, las distribuidoras deberán sortear dilemas tecnológicos sobre conectividad y garantizar la durabilidad de los equipos para asegurar la rentabilidad del despliegue.

Esta participación permitirá a TotalEnergies cubrir aproximadamente el 60% de las necesidades de sus refinerías y plantas químicas en Francia, estimadas en 400 MW.

Ambas firmas se comprometieron con cerca del 90% de las inversiones por unos 627,8 millones de dólares que serán necesarias para tender las cinco líneas de transmisión subastadas.

Una medida de emergencia impuesta temporalmente para hacer frente al impacto de la guerra contra Irán y que beneficiará a los agricultores.

También habrá medidas de apoyo para los agricultores franceses, ya que el Gobierno los eximirá del pago de cualquier impuesto especial sobre el gasóleo agrícola.
