The Renewables Foundation calls for more support for 'green' energies to reduce the oil bill

The Renewables Foundation considers that the measures announced by the Government to save fuels are "insufficient" and proposes other initiatives of a "structural" nature that reduce Spanish energy dependence, among which is support for 'green' energies.

In a statement, the Foundation indicates that the effect of the Government's measures means a saving of 1,400 million, which barely implies a saving of 1% in the energy bill in three months and 4% in a year. "The effect is very insignificant," he says.

Along with this, he warns that Spain has "a much more serious problem than the rest of the European Union" due to its high dependence on imports from the North African region, which generates supply problems and "very high prices of oil and gas for a long time."

The Spanish economy, he points out, is not able to withstand a barrel price above $100 for long with energy imports that will account for more than 60% of its trade deficit. These prices cause "a general inflation of prices and increases in interest rates", so that "it is suicide not to face the roots of this dependence", he says.

STRUCTURAL MEASURES.

In this context, the Foundation calls for structural measures that go through energy planning in which are detailed, among other things, mandatory and non-voluntary saving measures, the best possible development of renewables, price signals to the market that encourage savings and concrete actions in transport and housing.

"Pretending to save energy and imports by reducing the objectives of renewables, which are the only indigenous resources, is a fallacy," says the Foundation in reference to the development plans of these technologies.

WASTEFUL CONSUMPTION.

The measures adopted by the Government, he points out, do not contribute to changing the modes and uses of energy in Spain, "which are clearly wasteful, due to an energy culture that has stimulated greater consumption in the face of energy efficiency".

Imports of gas and oil in 2010, he says, accounted for 34.5 billion, which represents 66% of the trade deficit in that year. Two thirds of this external deficit comes from imports of fossil fuels and that makes Spain, within the countries of the EU and the OECD, the one with the highest energy intensity and the one with the highest oil intensity.
