Overview
- - The Generalitat will publish the preliminary siting plan for a three‑month public consultation in the coming weeks, with an approval by decree targeted next year.
- - The plan sets minimum wind and solar quotas for every comarca and municipality, letting town halls propose the “optimal” zones and block new projects once their quota is met.
- - Catalonia’s target reaches 62,000 MW by 2050, with about 14,000 MW expected from rooftops and other artificial spaces and the rest on non‑artificial land.
- - Ground installations would use roughly 1.2% of the territory by 2050, or about 314 km² for solar and 69 km² for onshore wind, with priority zones marked in Alt Empordà, Solsonès, and Anoia.
- - Officials describe the move as a fix for a long renewable shortfall that raises power costs, pointing to studies that estimate an annual €10 billion hit to Catalonia.
