Access and Connection to the Grid
Access and Connection to the Grid
We stand as the starting point for integrating all planned generation and new large electricity consumption to achieve a more sustainable electricity system.
The Gateway to the Ecological Transition
As system operator, we are responsible for the processing of access and connection procedures, ensuring the smooth operation of the transmission grid for new generation and demand facilities, both directly in the case of a project to connect to the transmission grid and in collaboration with the distributor in the case of a connection to the distribution grid.
Red Eléctrica undertakes this role in accordance with the regulations in force, and we guarantee compliance with them at all times. And we do so with:
Granting access and connection permits is a key challenge due to the increased interest in the development of renewable generation and the decarbonisation of the economy in the current context of ecological transition. To manage this, the company has prepared itself in an agile and proactive manner to meet the significant volumes of requests in a timely manner.
The feasibility of access and connection is governed by a regulatory framework that has evolved significantly in recent years. We have been quick to adapt to these changes.
