The Council of Ministers has designated renewable generation and storage projects that secure access and evacuation capacity in just transition nodes as "strategic energy installations" (First Agreement). This designation grants them "preferred energy project" status, which entails a declaration of urgency on grounds of public interest for all administrative procedures (Second Agreement). The measure aims to streamline processing without reducing environmental requirements or standard controls.
For developers of renewable and storage projects awarded in just transition nodes, the regulation significantly accelerates timelines for authorisation, environmental impact assessments, and the resolution of appeals (Second Agreement). These projects are considered public works of general interest, facilitating their urban planning integration (Additional Provision 12 of Law 13/2003). However, developers are obliged to pay municipalities 3% of the budget allocated to materials, civil engineering, and electromechanical assembly before commencing works.
