Ministerial Order ITC/2914/2011: This Ministerial Order modifies the former Ministerial Order ITC/1522/2007, of 24th May, that establishes the regulation for Guarantees of Origin (GOs) of electricity produced from renewable energy sources and high efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) generation plants.

It incorporates Article 15 of Directive 2009/28/EC into Spanish law, in relation to the system of Guarantees of Origin of electricity produced from renewable energy sources and high efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) generation plants.

It regulates the aforementioned system in order to promote the Guarantees of Origin’s contribution to the electricity produced from renewable energy sources and to be used as evidence for the final consumer that a certain amount of energy has been produced from such sources, as well as to simplify the electricity trade from renewable energy sources and high efficiency CHP power plants.

Among many other things, it also modifies the scope of application of the system, in accordance with Directive 2009/28/EC, establishing that electricity produced from pumped storage units using water that has previously been pumped uphill should not be considered to be electricity produced from renewable energy sources.

The National Energy Commission (CNE, in its Spanish acronym), the Spanish energy regulator, is formally appointed to issue, register the information and manage the system of Guarantees of Origin of electricity produced from renewable energy sources and high efficiency combined heat and power generation plants.

In 2016, there was an update related to Garantees of Origin: OrderIET/931/2016 of 20th May modified some provisions of Ministerial Order ITC/1522/2007, and transposes also some provisions of Directive 2012/27/EU.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

U.S. Energy Red Tape Gives China an Edge

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…

As BP Leaves the North Sea, These Independents Are Buying In

Back in July, UK oil and gas major BP Plc.
