  1. National MSP in the Mediterranean Sea: Spain (and Portugal) SEANERGY 2020 project Ana Estanqueiro LNEG, Portugal Supported by

  2. Spain- Policy and Legal framework - • 2020 Offshore renewable targets: 750 MW from wind energy and 100 MW from wave energy; • Currently (end 2010) there was no MSP being developed; • However, legislation and planning strategy already in place for offshore renewables: • Royal Decree 22/1988 (Coasts law): regulates the uses on the territorial sea; • Royal Decree 1028/2007: regulatory framework for licensing offshore renewables; • National Plan for Renewable Energies 2011-2020: sets the targets and establishes tariffs; • Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for offshore wind farms, evaluation of sustainable areas for deployment of offshore wind farms (see Figure 1);

  3. Spain:Policy and Legal framework -

  4. Spain- Permitting and Licensing - Licensing: • RD 1028/2007 establishes the administrative procedure; • Valid for all offshore renewables; • Authority responsible for licensing is the Department for Energy Policy and Mining (DGPEM); Grid Connection requirements: • Law 54/1997 is the main electrical sector law; • RD 1955/2000 names REE as the grid operator and regulates the transport, distribution, trade and supply activities as well as grid connection authorization;

  5. Spain- Data and information management - Although no MSP is in place in Spain (as in Ireland) the previous development of a SEA seems to create the necessary conditions to proceed with the deployment of marine energies: • Environmental and social-economic data was used for the offshore SEA study; • Data quality may be an issue in some of the datasets; • Most of the data is detained by the Spanish Central Administration; • Not all the data sources are available in GIS format;

  8. Portugal - Policy and legal framework - • 2020 Offshore renewable targets: • 250 MW from wave energy; • 75 MW from wind energy; • Portuguese MSP - the POEM plan: • Development started in 2008 ( PT Governmental dispatch nº 32277/2008) had a 5-year planned duration and is currently on the final stages of development; • The PT MSP addressed all identified uses on the Portuguese EEZ. • Areas identified for offshore renewables: • LNEG contributed with the identification of high potential areas for sustainable offshore wind farms deployment (Figure 1); • A wave/offshore energy test area has already been defined and legislated;

  9. Portugal- Policy and legal framework -

  10. Portugal:Permitting and licensing • Requires permits from several Ministries; • Government is evaluating the creation of an unique office for licensing maritime projects; • Regulatory framework: • None defined for offshore wind; • Wave energy is regulated by law nº 225/2007 that also establishes the tariffs; • Technical framework: • REN (PT TSO) is the responsible body to design the network reinforcement and to manage and the development of new sub-stations; • There is specific plans or legislation covering grid connection requirements, however REN development plans include 500 MW of offshore wind;

  11. Portugal- Stakeholders and Conflict Management - Stakeholders involved: • Public institutions, private companies, sectioral associations as well as the Portuguese scientific community had an active participation during the data gathering process; • Private institutions of maritime transportation, national security, energy and environment, fisheries and tourism were also involved in POEM through the participation on thematic workshops; Conflict Management: • The involvement from the beginning of the several stakeholders has guaranteed a wide acceptance (did it?); • 3 principles are in place to manage possible conflicts: sustainable development, precautionary approach and eco-systemic approach;

  12. Portugal- Data and Information management -

  13. Portugal Regional cooperation and MSP implementation - • Cooperation: • As a signatory state of several international conventions: OSPAR, Bern and Bonn conventions; Portugal has obligations that have impact on the maritime spatial planning; • No direct cooperation with neighboring countries is foreseen in POEM; • Current status of implementation: • The public consultation has closed recently (22nd of February 2011) and its conclusions are being analyzed by the authorities;
