Declaradas como instalaciones energéticas estratégicas las instalaciones de generación renovable y almacenamiento energético adjudicatarias de capacidad de evacuación en los nudos de transición justa

El Gobierno español ha declarado como instalaciones energéticas estratégicas los proyectos renovables adjudicatarios en nudos de transición justa, vinculados al cierre de centrales térmicas de carbón o nucleares. Esta calificación agiliza procedimientos administrativos y aplica el régimen de obras públicas de interés general, facilitando la reactivación económica de territorios afectados mientras se mantienen las garantías ambientales.
