The Spanish government has launched a consultation on February 3, 2026, to gather input for its first offshore wind auction, aiming to install 3 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. The consultation addresses potential wind energy areas, capacity, award criteria, and the introduction of a Contract for Difference (CfD) support scheme, which includes provisions for indexation to incentivize investment. Feedback is sought on the competitive bidding process, target capacity, and commissioning timelines for the offshore wind farms.
