The strong emergence of renewable energies and other forms of distributed generation are not only affecting the “electricity mix” but also influencing the price of electricity and the development of investment in the sector. The new electricity generation and distribution methods are today operating in a market designed a few decades ago around a very different energy model. We should therefore be aware of the energy transition we are experiencing now, examine the operational flaws and needs in the Spanish electricity market, and discuss the energy model we need to implement.

Economic aspects of the new energy model. Barcelona
2018-01-23 18:30 - 20:30 | Colegio de Economistas de Cataluña, Plaça Gal·la Placidia, 32, Barcelona, Barcelona, 08006, España
The new electricity generation and distribution methods are today operating in a Spanish electricity market designed 20 years ago around an energy model that was very different to the one we have today. The strong emergence of renewable energies and other forms of distributed generation are not only affecting the “electricity mix” but also influencing the price of electricity and the development of investment in the sector.
We will examine the economic aspects of this transition, a phenomenon that is happening worldwide, and how the company should adapt to the new bill requirements under the new energy model.

Vehicular natural gas: environmental economic advantages. Valladolid
2018-03-06 09:00 - 13:00 | Patio Herreriano de Valladolid, C/ Jorge Guillén, 6, Valladolid , 47003, España
Air pollution is one of today’s problems in cities. The European Commission has repeatedly warned Spain to comply with established limits, mainly in the largest cities. In this regard, between 40% and 65% of all air pollution is caused by road traffic. Several initiatives are under way to combat this problem, such as restricting traffic and redesigning traffic circulation in cities, but transitioning to the use of more sustainable fuels is being proposed as one of the solutions. Natural gas (compressed or liquified) is being used as a more sustainable alternative fuel to oil derivatives (such as petrol or diesel) and could help improve air quality.
