El 27 de julio se someterá a información pública la propuesta de Orden por la que se desarrolla el Sistema de Certificación de Combustibles Renovables y el mecanismo de créditos de electricidad renovable.
Why it matters: This mechanism turns EV charging into a tradeable asset, giving your C&I clients a secondary revenue stream that significantly shortens solar payback periods.

Stop Selling Panels, Start Selling Carbon Credits
If you think this news is just for the biofuels crowd, you’re missing the most lucrative shift in the Spanish solar market this year. The mecanismo de créditos de electricidad renovable is the local manifestation of the EU’s RED III mandate. For the boots on the ground in Iberia, this is about one thing: E-Credits.
When you install a C&I rooftop system for a client with a fleet or public charging, every kWh of solar-to-EV energy is about to become a tradeable asset. In markets like Germany (THG-Quote), these credits have provided a significant ROI kicker. Spain is finally building the plumbing to let installers and CPOs (Charge Point Operators) sell these environmental attributes to "obligated parties"—the traditional oil and gas giants who need to offset their carbon footprint to meet national targets.
The 100kW+ Playbook
Your sales pitch for a 100kW+ warehouse installation just got a massive upgrade. Don't just model the self-consumption savings at €0.12/kWh. You need to account for the credit value. While we wait for the final Order from MITECO to set the specific pricing mechanisms, early indicators suggest that integrating EV chargers with PV isn't just a "nice to have" anymore—it’s a prerequisite for capturing this new revenue stream. Companies like Iberdrola or Endesa will be hunting for these credits; as an installer, you should be the one positioning your client to sell them.
The Catch: The bureaucracy will be thick. Expect rigorous metering requirements. If you aren't using MID-approved meters and inverters with secure data logging now, you’re locking your clients out of this market before it even starts. Don't get caught installing "dumb" chargers in 2024. This is the year we stop being simple electricians and start being energy asset managers.
