Link Securities | The company announced that the transmission network still has capacity for new demand in 25% of its nodes, which may be granted either through general priority criteria or through a tender process, according to Bolsamania.com. The company, in its capacity as system operator (SO), has disclosed for the first time the access capacities for demand connection at the transport network nodes, calculated according to the technical criteria established by the detailed specifications approved by the Spanish National Markets and Competitions Commission (CNMC) in its Resolution of 1 December.
The technical calculation criteria established, similar to those applicable to generation, are intended to continue to ensure the security and proper functioning of the system. In the transmission network alone, access and connection permits have been granted to 129 GW of wind and photovoltaic installations, 16 GW of storage installations and 19 GW of demand installations. Of the latter, since 2022, when the current plan was approved, 11.8 GW of capacity has been granted for new demand, none of which has yet been put into service. They have five years from the date of obtaining the permit to do so.
