Spain facing the risk of missing the greatest industrial opportunity of the century: data centres
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 30, 2026. Spain is facing a key strategic decision in the development of data centers, one of the greatest industrial opportunities of the present time. Despite its advantages in renewable energy and geographical position, regulatory barriers and grid access constraints are putting investment attraction at risk at a decisive moment for […]
Photovoltaics, batteries and data centers strengthen electricity system integration
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 24, 2026. The recent evolution of the electricity system in Europe, and particularly in Spain, is showing that the growth of renewable capacity can no longer be analysed in isolation. In a context characterised by the expansion of solar photovoltaics, the growing need for storage and the emergence of new intensive […]
From market forecasts to bankability: a structural shift in the electricity sector
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 23, 2026. The European electricity sector is undergoing a structural shift driven by the large‑scale penetration of renewable energy, increased volatility and the growing importance of storage. In this context, market forecasts are no longer merely an analytical tool but have become a key element in project financing. Bankability, robustness and […]
Photovoltaics and soil regeneration: a new paradigm in the energy transition
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 22, 2026. Photovoltaic energy can go beyond electricity production and become a tool for soil regeneration. International experiences demonstrate its potential to restore degraded ecosystems, an approach that is particularly relevant in countries with a high risk of desertification such as Spain. For years, photovoltaic energy has primarily been presented as […]
Storage positioned as a key element in the evolution of European electricity markets
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 21, 2026. The analysis table of the Spanish version of the 65th monthly webinar, held on April 16 under the title “Prospects for energy markets in Europe”. The role of energy storage”, highlighted the growing importance of storage in European electricity markets. In a context characterised by high renewable energy penetration, […]
Energy storage redefines the balance of the electricity system: from the European market to the Spanish reality
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 17, 2026. The European electricity system is entering a new phase and this can already be observed in market behaviour. This is not a matter of forecasts or long‑term plans. Volatility in energy prices, driven by geopolitical factors and supply uncertainty, has intensified in recent months. That volatility is now directly […]
The new industrial competitive advantage: managing energy, not just consuming it
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 16, 2026. Electro‑intensive industry is facing a structural shift in its relationship with energy. In an increasingly renewable and volatile system, the key is no longer only to reduce consumption, but to strategically manage when, how and with what level of risk electricity is used, turning energy into a determining factor […]
Hybridisation redefines renewable energy profitability: from the megawatt produced to the megawatt optimised
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 15, 2026. The renewable sector is entering a new phase marked by the saturation of electricity markets and the loss of value of production at certain hours. In this context, hybridisation with storage is consolidating as the pathway to optimise revenues, reduce risks and adapt assets to an increasingly volatile and […]

From rainfall to the power market, how Spain’s hydrological cycle strongly affects the electricity prices
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, March 16, 2026. Heavy winter rainfall in Spain has significantly increased hydro reservoir levels in early 2026, placing them about 50% above the 10-year average. Because hydro reservoirs act as large-scale energy storage, abundant water allows hydro generation to cover more electricity demand, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As a result, hydrological […]
