Spain
Ten years at the heart of clean energy journalism… 
…and prepared to continue for many more. This is how Pepa Mosquera and Luis Merino, editors and directors of Energías Renovables (our Spanish sister publication), ended their speech at a party held in Madrid on Wednesday to celebrate the 100th edition of the print version of the monthly magazine. The event was attended by around 150 people, including the presidents of many of the leading renewable energy associations and institutions such as Protermolsar, Cener and IDAE. The celebration came the day before Spain revealed its new National Renewable Energy Plan for the period 2011 to 2020, setting out the installation of an additional 25 GW of renewable capacity over the next 10 years. | Scotland
