Network Development Plan 2021-2026
#GridsthatbringLife towards a new future for Spain
A green future
The fight against the climate emergency requires us to move towards a decarbonised electricity system. The Network Development Plan 21-26 will prepare the transmission grid to be able to connect and integrate more renewable energy in the coming years: thanks to its developments, 67% of electricity generation will originate from renewable energy sources by 2026.
A connected future
The electricity system must address this transformation while continuing to ensure a secure, continuous and high quality electricity supply for everyone. This new Network Development Plan will reinforce the reliability of supply where it is needed, drive the development of new demand and rail axes and strengthen isolated systems and our international connections.
A future of opportunity
The Network Development Plan will be a catalyst for economic and social progress in Spain. The planned investments will boost economic activity and activate the industrial fabric of the regions, creating employment, wealth and new opportunities. This development plan will also generate significant savings and increase efficiency in the electricity system. It will thus make a strong contribution to the recovery from the pandemic.

protecting our environment
The planning process was carried out following a rigorous Strategic Environmental Assessment procedure in order to make it sustainable and respectful of the environment. In this way, environmental and territorial conditioning factors have been prioritised in its design, making better use of the existing grid, avoiding the most sensitive areas and reducing investments with an environmental effect on the territory. In fact, only 13% of all the Renewable Energy Sources planned to be connected by 2026 in areas where this is not currently possible will require new transmission substations.

#GridsthatbringLife
that we have designed
together and for all of us
#GridsthatbringLife will be grids by everyone for everyone. This Network Development Plan is the result of an exercise in collective responsibility. Public administrations and the different agents of civil society have participated in its preparation, working together with a common goal: to build, together, a useful and valuable grid for everyone. For the first time, the consultation process has been open to all citizens, companies and administrations, whose high level of participation (more than 3,200 claims) has demonstrated the enormous interest of society as a whole in the process of ecological transition.
