Permitting renewables and storage in Spain: key steps

Grid access, environmental assessment and local permits for solar, wind and battery projects in Spain.

Grid access first

Projects need grid access and connection permits before most other steps. Access is limited at many nodes.

Larger projects need an environmental impact assessment. Natura 2000 areas, bird corridors and water courses are common issues.

Municipal building and activity licences follow. Gridscouter's land check flags several environmental risks early.
