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 energy savings to competitive advantage: industry enters the era of active energy management
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, April 14, 2026. Industry is transforming the way it manages energy. Self‑consumption, combined with storage, is no longer merely a cost‑saving tool but is becoming a strategic asset. Price‑driven optimisation, participation in flexibility markets and the use of advanced forecasting position energy as a key competitiveness factor in an increasingly renewable and […]
Interview of pv magazine with Antonio Delgado Rigal, PhD in Artificial Intelligence and CEO of AleaSoft Energy Forecasting
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, March 20 2026. Interview by Sergio Matalucci of pv magazine, with Antonio Delgado Rigal, PhD in Artificial Intelligence, founder and CEO of AleaSoft Energy Forecasting. How does the current geopolitical situation change in the business plans of hydrogen investments? Geopolitics has reinforced the strategic value of hydrogen in Europe, but it has […]
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 […]
Pumped storage plants and their role in electricity system flexibility
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, February 20, 2026. The growing penetration of renewable energies is transforming the temporal structure of electricity markets, increasing hourly variability and modifying system operating patterns. In this new environment, energy storage technologies, and pumped storage plants in particular, play an essential role by allowing energy to be shifted from periods of lower […]
The automotive sector accelerates towards solid‑state batteries as successors to Li‑ion
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, December 19, 2025. Lithium‑ion (Li‑ion) batteries dominate energy storage in electronic devices, vehicles and power supply systems. However, the emergence of solid‑state batteries promises to revolutionise the sector by offering higher energy density, efficiency and safety, as well as a lower environmental impact. Their development opens up new opportunities for electric vehicles […]
A competitor with ‘astronomical’ qualities for Li‑Ion batteries
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, December 12, 2025. In a market dominated by lithium batteries, a technology that has always been present is beginning to gain prominence. Nickel‑hydrogen batteries, used for decades in space missions due to their extreme reliability, are gaining ground thanks to recent advances that are lowering production costs. Their long lifetime, low maintenance […]
