Decarbonising the Balearic and Canary Islands is essential to meet the Spanish government’s ambitious targets since their generation mixes are dominated by fossil fuels. Whilst renewable wind and solar resources are more abundant than in the peninsula, material costs can also be higher due to import requirements.
Although regulations currently incentivise solar development, and profitability is higher in the Islands, policy updates are expected to play a big role in the future of ancillary services and flex opportunities to guarantee the system’s safety and stability.
