The third edition of the Future Energy Summit Iberia 2025 will take place on 24 June in Madrid, bringing together more than 400 energy sector executives.
Against this backdrop, Galp is one of the most anticipated participants due to its expanding role in the region’s energy transition.
The Portuguese company arrives at the event with a consolidated portfolio of 1.5 GW of operational solar assets across the Iberian Peninsula and a further 0.5 GW under construction.
Galp is one of the main producers of photovoltaic solar energy in the Iberian Peninsula, with more than 1.5 GW of installed capacity and more than 400 MW under development, with an approach based on optimising and improving the performance of operational grid connection points through storage and hybridization.
Fernando Cremades, Global Head of Growth, will represent the company in the panel titled “Trends in Solar Energy and Storage in Spain”, alongside leaders from Chemik, Yingli Solar, 360Energy, Zelestra, and Enlight. The session will address the current challenges facing the Spanish market, including low electricity prices, renewable curtailment, and pressure on profitability.
This discussion is especially relevant given that Galp already operates a 5 MW / 20 MWh BESS pilot project in Alcoutim (Portugal), with plans to scale it up to 60 MW in 2025.
Galp’s approach focuses on acting as an integrated energy operator—combining solar generation, battery storage, and energy trading to optimise revenues in a volatile environment.
Digitalisation and smart dispatch solutions are central to this strategy for operational resilience.
Additionally, Carlos Relancio, Director of Renewable Energies at Galp, will participate in networking sessions and strategic discussions during the event.
His contribution will explore the integration and growth challenges of the Iberian renewable matrix, as Galp recently announced a 650 million euros investment in a new advanced biofuels unit and a 100 MW electrolyser at its Sines refinery—partially financed by the EIB and Mitsui.
A Gathering of Key Energy Transition Stakeholders
FES Iberia 2025 will be held at the Colegio de Caminos, Betancourt Auditorium, in Madrid, and will gather more than 400 public and private sector executives.
The summit is once again set to be a key forum for shaping investment opportunities, innovation, and the energy transition across Southern Europe.
This year’s edition will feature leading companies such as Alantra, Matrix Renewables, 360Energy, Chemik, Yingli Solar, Risen Energy, Schletter, BLC Power Generation, Repsol, EDP, and RWE.
These participants will share their expertise in storage, PPAs, green hydrogen, solar and wind energy, as well as financing models and market mechanisms.
Notable industry leaders confirmed for the event include Julio Castro, CEO of Iberdrola Renovables; David Ruiz, CEO of Grenergy; Jordi Torres, CEO of TotalEnergies Renovables España; Alejandro Moreno, Chief Development Officer of Recurrent Energy; Rocío Sicre, General Director of EDP Renewables España; Rafael Esteban, Global Business Development Director at ACCIONA Energía; Enrique Pedrosa, COO Europe & LatAm of Repsol Low Carbon Generation; and Álvaro Pérez de Lema de la Mata, CEO of Saeta Yield.
They will be joined by executives from ENGIE, Matrix Renewables, RWE, Lightsource bp, 360Energy, Jinko, Elecnor, Chemik, Schletter, Yingli Solar, and many others, sharing insights on the regional energy future, investment models, storage, digitalisation, and regulatory mechanisms.
The agenda will include strategic panels on Southern Europe’s energy markets, the role of offtakers, opportunities in Latin America, and a high-level discussion with government officials from Guatemala and the Dominican Republic on tenders and regulatory frameworks.
Beyond technical content, FES Iberia will also provide a premier networking space, including private meeting rounds, bilateral encounters, and an exclusive cocktail reception for the main players in the renewable energy ecosystem.
