Status of the environmental permitting process of projects
All projects undertaken by Red Eléctrica are evaluated from an environmental standpoint, and the competent environmental authorities are informed and their approval is requested. This process is performed even for projects which do not need to be submitted to the environmental impact assessment procedure.
The majority of the projects carried out by Red Eléctrica are bound by law to this procedure. The environmental impact assessment is therefore the most appropriate tool to minimize the environmental impacts generated by Red Eléctrica’s electricity infrastructure. With it, adequate prevention of environmental and social impacts that may be causes be the facilities is ensured, whilst establishing effective mechanisms to prevent, reduce or offset these possible impacts. It also acts as a tool for communication with public administrations and other stakeholders, whose participation is essential.
Depending on the type of infrastructure that is being assessed, the following is a breakdown of which administrative body is responsible for its processing:
- The Central Government Administration: for 400 kV infrastructure of the grid, 220 kV international interconnections or infrastructures that are located in more than one autonomous region.
- Regional Governments: for 220 kV infrastructure of the grid or for those of lower voltages in the insular systems.
The authorisations that are required to carry out infrastructure projects are the following: environmental impact statement (in the majority of the cases), prior administrative authorisation, declaration of public utility, administrative authorization for construction and the operating license.
Below you will find information regarding the status of the administrative permitting process of the different projects that Red Eléctrica is carrying out, although it should be noted that this website is not the appropriate channel if you wish to present any official claim, argument or procedure.
