Overview
- Spain’s energy ministry and its agency IDAE issued a provisional plan Wednesday to direct €212 million to six state ports under the Port‑Eolmar program.
- The draft assigns about €97.449 million to A Coruña and €2.55 million to Ferrol, €50.83 million to Castellón, €30 million to Las Palmas, €24 million to Tarragona, and €7.167 million to Gijón.
- Ports must file industrial projects linked to marine renewables, commit investment at least equal to the aid, and keep activity for 10 years through private operators selected in competitive concessions.
- The port upgrades are part of a wider €670 million package from Spain’s EU‑backed recovery plan that also raises pumped‑storage funding under Boralmac II to €165 million and backs clean power and heat projects.
- The package also proposes more support for electric mobility, including about €97 million for 2,880 highway chargers and nearly €8 million for 3,700 fleet vehicles and about 300 depot chargers.
