This Spanish industry wants to ask Brussels temporarily exempt for combined cycles between Payment of CO2 emission rights. plants burn gas to produce electric They are being punished by the cost of polluting emissions, which has doubled since the war in Ukraine. This Industry Association tries to promote this measure while the energy crisis persists thus lowering the price of electricityAs explained by employers of the chemical industry, feika member of this association anfac (car), AOP (oil companies), aspapel (trash cans), FIAB (feed), officers (cement), primitive (mineral raw materials), serpentine (components) and unesid (steel).
“At the current price of 90 euros per single megawatt hour (MWh), The price of the issuing plant (wholesale electricity) increases by 40 Euro MWh. we thought about it Some measures should be taken, such as exclusion of combined cycle power plants from this payment.. would be interim measure inside Such a serious situation that we are going through can be justified.“, this Wednesday the head of Feique announced, Teresa Rasero. The industry’s idea is that this measure should be sustained throughout the energy crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine.
This temporary exemption letter It was concluded by the association to convey its opinion on the issue to the Government. reform electricity market, upon request Ministry of Ecological Transition. Evaluates the reform proposal that brings the sector to the agenda Brussels “insufficient” and top priority application of a model. renewable and nuclear energy has a regulated price be able to sign directly with generators forward contracts at a “competitive” price.

On the other hand, in that case gas pricesfrom the sector that consumes this energy, “new” help programsimilar Portuguese Together direct assistance in higher volume — the cumulative subsidy amount reaches 825 million euros compared to 1,000 million euros in the neighboring country for a much lower demand, which would thus translate to around 5,000 million euros to be similar — as well as model –Reductions of EUR 40 per MWh on the invoice up to a minimum of EUR 30 per MWh applied directly to the retailer compensated by the government. They also argue that any company with a “relatively or absolutely relevant” consumption will have access to them.
End business interruptions
This energy crisis Caused by the war in Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s pressure on the faucet gas passed an expensive bill major Spanish industrycrystallized in the form of production shutdowns and restructuring in employment. This chemical industry, one of the most affected is setting a date for its end: this April, the event’s reactivation will be absolute. “We are recovering. We will do an internal analysis when we end this month, but There is very little standing. At the end of March or the beginning of April, the few remaining will open”, asserted the general manager of chemical employers (Feique), Juan Antonio Labat.
HE chemical industry closed the year with an increase. transfer from 16.3% around 90,000 million euroswith the effect of prices, production has barely grown Gradually 0.9% slowdown in activity from the second semester. The part that worries the industry the most is basic chemistry, The region particularly affected by the cuts due to “alarming prices” for both natural gas and electricity. Basic chemistry is chemistry in which basic raw materials are used to prepare certain substances. intermediates brings together industries such as fertilizers, purification, plastic raw materials or industrial gasesamong others and assumes approximately 45% of the sector total.
In summer All gas-consuming companies have shut their factories due to the energy crisis, as gas prices are unlikely to “go above 150 euros for days” and “not able to compete with any other European company”. Now, an appreciation “some stability” in the second semester “could be a little better but many uncertainties in terms of demand”. The industry expects the resumption of operations in China, where most of the orders were received.
