Redeia says Red Eléctrica does not drive power system cost overruns, cites grid security role

Redeia rejected claims it drives up power-system costs, framing grid interventions as mandated measures to secure supply at lowest cost. It said technical constraints have risen since 2021 alongside Spain’s power-system transition, not operator discretion. September constraint-up energy cleared at EUR 293.44/MWh versus EUR 143.25/MWh in the day-ahead market, driven by generator offers. Jan. 1-Sept. 30, technical-constraint resolution and secondary regulation lifted generators’ revenue by EUR 3.91 billion. September “reinforced operation” cost EUR 8.8 million, equivalent to EUR 0.02/day for a typical PVPC household.
