ACCIONA urges EU to prioritize renewables over low-carbon hydrogen

25 Oct 2024
Message — ACCIONA requests a robust definition treating low-carbon hydrogen as a temporary transitional solution. They propose a clause to prevent the construction of new gas-consuming plants.12
Why — Prioritizing renewables safeguards their massive investments in wind and solar power generation.3
Impact — Fossil fuel developers lose the opportunity to build new gas-powered hydrogen production facilities.4

Acciona urges swift adoption of new hydrogen emission allowance rules

29 Dec 2023
Message — Acciona supports the simplified formula for renewable hydrogen and calls for its earliest adoption. They emphasize the need for rigorous implementation of future carbon border adjustment rules.12
Why — The rules provide immediate financial incentives and accelerate the deployment of renewable hydrogen projects.34
Impact — Fossil-fuel hydrogen producers lose advantages from outdated rules that discouraged cleaner alternatives.5

Acciona Urges EU to Reject Permanent Electricity Revenue Caps

23 May 2023
Message — Acciona demands that revenue caps remain strictly temporary and limited to crisis scenarios. They argue that renewable generators must keep their freedom to choose market strategies. The reform must avoid retroactive impacts on existing energy project contracts.123
Why — Rejecting national revenue caps secures predictable profits and protects Acciona's existing renewable energy investments.45
Impact — National governments lose the ability to independently cap revenues to fund localized consumer relief programs.6
