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.

Brazil’s New Oil Frontier Could Keep Its Boom Alive For Decades

Last week, the state-run Oil & Gas giant announced it has found oil at the Morpho-1 well (Block FZA-M-59) in the mouth of the Amazon roughly 180 kilometres (112 miles) off the coast of Amapa state, “All of our studies indicate substantial potential.…

Houthis Move to Gain Complete Control Over Crucial Bab el-Mandeb Oil Chokepoint

The Yemeni Houthis are planning to seize land along the Yemeni coast in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, tightening their control of the chokepoint.

Hormuz Oil Crisis Accelerates Global EV Sales

Global electric vehicle sales have surged this year following the oil supply disruption in the Middle East and the second oil price shock in four years. The accelerating EV adoption that began with the spike in oil and fuel prices earlier this year is set to remain a trend in the global markets and could push the share of EVs in the passenger fleet above earlier expectations, analysts at Wood Mackenzie say. Challenges to accelerated adoption still remain, including the need for billions of U.S. dollars in investments in critical battery minerals…

Washington Eases Gasoline Rules as Iran Pressure Campaign Jolts Fuel Costs

Washington is tightening the screws on Iran and loosening the rules on gasoline at the same time as Americans are paying more than $4 a gallon. The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday authorized an early switch to cheaper winter-grade gasoline, allowing sales of gasoline blended with 10% ethanol beginning September 1 rather than waiting for the normal mid-September seasonal transition. The administration says ending summer-blend requirements early could add hundreds of thousands of barrels per day to domestic gasoline supply and provide…

How Solar Panel Prices Fell 90 Percent In 15 Years

Solar power is far and away the world’s fastest-growing form of energy production, beating out every other form of energy on Earth in 2025. Despite a recent political pivot away from renewable energies in the world’s largest economy, solar power additions continue to shatter its own records year over year as the sector has long since outgrown any need for subsidies. Solar power has simply become too cheap to fail. “We have a plentiful and cheap source of electricity that can be built quickly, almost anywhere in the world,”…
