airport manager aena It went out to tender this Wednesday for Supply contract worth 450 million euros electric power 100% welded renewable energy of the company covering the years 2024-2028. Aena Supplier Recruitment Portal.
By tender, 5 year periodIt aims to carry out transactions related to the management of self-consumption photovoltaic power plants that will be gradually included in the airport network with the purchase of energy (100% renewable source certified) for airports.
This document lays the groundwork for Aena to become an energy producer that consumes its own renewable energy. and to contribute to the sale of surplus energy from photovoltaic plants for the rest of the grid infrastructures. In other words, the excess energy produced in photovoltaic plants at some airports can be transferred to others, a process that one power company will undertake.
Aena will receive its own guarantees of origin for new photovoltaic plants, and the successful bidder will always be responsible for gradually replacing them with the marketer’s guarantees of renewable origin, assuring the successful bidder that 100% of the energy is renewable.
The supplies are grouped into several lots to support competition between companies so that each lot always has more consumption than excess sales during the contract period.
According to the spec sheet, all High Voltage lots have at least one surplus self-consumption plant, “Diversifying the volatility in electricity market prices in the coming years, demanding a portion of each party at a fixed price.”
The gross amount of the tender is 544.2 million euros, and the net amount is around 449.77 million euros.. The supply is organized in seven lots: Lot 1 (Madrid, Galicia, Basque Country), Lot 2 (North), Lot 3 (South Center-Levante), Lot 4 (Balearic Islands), Lot 5 (Canary Islands), Lot 6 (Baja) Voltage) and Lot 7 (Murcia Region Airport).
The quantities of the lots have an estimated credit based on electricity market price quotes and airport consumption.
Also given The situation in Europe is a energy transition renewable It is expected that new rules and regulations that may affect the specification formulas will be published in the coming years. Therefore, the file accepts regulatory changes during the contract period.

The base consumption is 80 MWh, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Climate Action Plan
Develops Aena Photovoltaic Plan in line with the Climate Action Planincluded in Sustainability Strategy of the company that defines actions to decarbonize airports
The company continues its claim on energy sustainability based on clean and efficient technologies that reduce dependency on fossil fuels by increasing the energy self-sufficiency of its facilities or purchasing energy from renewable sources.
the goal is to achieve Gradually reducing CO2 emissions To be carbon neutral by 2026 and to achieve net zero emissions across the entire airport network by 2040.
