Salto y central hidráulica de Salime Asturias EDP

Salime, from a pioneering hydroelectric power station to a paradigm of the energy transition in Asturias

Several energy companies are proposing hydraulic generation and storage initiatives, taking advantage of existing reservoirs and power plants.

Power companies are showing commitment to Asturias in the path taken by Spain towards the decarbonization of the economy and the energy transition. Dozens of reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants in operation in our region for decades, such as the one in Grandas de Salime, could gain a second life through projects to generate and store the energy they produce.

The Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition, approved by the Spanish Parliament in May 2021, states that one of the measures to achieve the decarbonization objectives is to promote reversible hydroelectric plants, capable of generating energy and storing it.
