The purchase of Union Fenosa by Gas Natural is going to be slightly delayed
February 4, 2009
Analysis by: Miguel Bunuel, Executive President,Retraso para Gas en la CNC | www.enervia.com
1) Nothing seems likely to avoid that the CNC finally approves the purchase of Unión Fenosa by Gas Natural. What remains to know is how deep the CNC is going to get into mandating Gas Natural to make disinvestments, but we shouldn’t expect that the CNC requires large ones. The CNC cannot hurt the building of a stronger Spanish energy company, especially strong in the gas market. 2) ACS is going to have to wait a little bit more to get the money that it needs to fight for the control of Iberdrola… an interesting battle to come with an unpredictable outcome.

More news on the Spanish Photo Voltaic (PV) solar market
February 4, 2009
Analysis by: Miguel Bunuel, Executive President,Incredible growth in Spanish solar energy market spells good and bad news for PV industry | www.solarplaza.com
1) Again, it’s clear that the new feed-in tariff still makes investing in PV solar in Spain a profitable business. 2) The sector is going to be paralyzed a little bit longer, until promoters know that their facilities have been approved.

Analysis by: Miguel Bunuel, Executive President,Red contra el viento | www.enervia.com
1) The need for a thicker power grid that keeps us safe from power blackouts is obvious in many countries, including Spain. REE’s investment plans of thickening the grid in Spain, and interconnecting France and Spain through other points, should be completed as projected before the current financial crisis. 2) Social rejection to the construction of new power lines from some people (die-hard ecologists and others) is against sustainable development. 3) The growth of renewable energy production is also good news for REE’s investment plans, since it requires that those plans are completed as projected.

The cooling of the Spanish PV solar market will lead to sustainable growth of the PV industry
February 3, 2009
Analysis by: Miguel Bunuel, Executive President,Incredible growth in Spanish solar energy market spells good and bad news for PV industry | www.solarplaza.com
1) The reduction in the feed-in tariff still makes investing in PV solar in Spain a profitable business; the demand for new facilities is much higher than the new allowed quotas. 2) Previous growth in the Spanish PV industry was unsustainable. It's good news that the market is cooled down to a sustainable path. 3) The new regulation will foster cost-reducing R+D, and we’ll get faster to the point where government support is no longer needed.
