By
Antonio M. Vélez
Summary
The article discusses growing alarm in Spain's self-consumption (autoconsumo) solar energy sector. The PP's economic guru threatens to reinstate the "impuesto al sol" (sun tax), while Nadal wants to "readjust tolls" to avoid subsidizing self-consumers. Data from Red Eléctrica de España (REE) shows a decline in solar plant installations, though industry associations downplay the figures despite a weak start to 2026. The piece analyzes the political and regulatory tensions surrounding renewable energy self-consumption in Spain.
