4 04 ANDALUSIA, a leading region Andalusia is internationally renowned as a region at the forefront of research, technological development and industrial manufacturing plants of components and systems within several current and future renewable energy industries. It is for having exceptional natural resources to generate this type of energy, a strong industrial network with international leading companies in the field of components and systems manufacturing plants to generate and to distribute clean energies. Likewise the region has a wide network of researchers and centres that specialize in the renewable energy sector. Map of location of Andalusia in Europe The Regional Government of Andalusia promotes a sustainable energy model based on the diversification of energy resources, saving and energy efficiency in conjunction with the economic, social and technological development of the region.

5 05 a i For this reason, there is a public network to foster the development of renewable energies led by the Regional Ministry of Innovation, Science and Enterprise, through the Andalusian Energy Agency focused on supporting projects for energy generation as well as the Agency of Innovation and Development of Andalusia, which promotes industrial investments projects and R+D centres. Andalusia is the European region that receives the most solar radiation on its surface area, and thus has suitable climatic characteristics for wind energy exploitation and also generates large amounts of biomass, most of it coming from its strong agricultural industry. Apart from the huge potential coming from its endogenous resources, it is important to highlight its availability to provide new solutions through research teams and specialized companies.

6 06 A strategic commitment: Andalusian Sustainable Energy Plan The commitment of the Regional Government of PASENER promotes the industrial network in the field of Andalusia to promote renewable energies in the energy technologies as well as fostering a competitive region is regulated by the Andalusian Sustainable Energy model based on the knowledge economy. Plan (PASENER) whose main objective is to consolidate a new sustainable energy model during The Andalusian Law for fostering renewable energies and saving and energy efficiency provides maximum legal The establishment of a new energy model is a strategic coverage to the main strategies of energy development guideline within the Andalusian Regional Government. in the region, promoting the use of renewable energies Its main objectives are the energy diversification, the versus other energy resources, establishing energy exploitation of renewable resources, the right demand saving and efficiency promotion tools from production management and high levels of self-sufficiency at the to consumption and promoting the rational use of the consumption centres. energy resources in the region. The main strategic objectives of PASENER for 2013 are: Contributions of renewable energy resources to the primary energy structure: 18.3% Total electric output installed by means of renewable energies versus total electric output: 39.1% Gross electric energy production by means of renewable resources versus the electric energy consumption: Total contributions of renewable energy resources related to the final consuming-energy: 27.7% 32.2% Reduction of the CO 2 emissions by electric generation unit: 20%
