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.

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
