“Don’t fire anyone!” – clear message for companies in Spain (which will be unique in Europe)

Frozen rents, prohibited evictions, intervention in fuel prices. Spain can handle the “shock” well.

The attack by the USA and Israel changed the global energy market and affected the price of fuel. The consequences arrived quickly, as expected.

Not so much, Spain could be a single case na Europa e hold up well this “shock”.

Highlights the investment that the Spanish Government made in renewable energy over the last 7 years.

The neighboring country doubled its wind and solar capacity since 2019. In practice, it has increased more than 40 GW in its energy – it is the biggest rise in the European Unionin scale (Germany achieved more, but the size of its market is twice the size of Spain’s market).

Consequence for the consumer: the global market little influence the price of energy. Having so much wind and solar energy reduced the influence of fossil fuels on the price of electricity by 75%.

10 years ago, the card was associated with 25% of the electricity produced in Spain – but in August last year, coal represented… 0%.

These changes can be seen in the electricity bill: one of the highest values ​​in Europe, Spain now has one of the lower values of the continent.
