Spain’s 11 GW Capacity Release Raises the Bar on Process Discipline
Spain just released 11 GW of grid capacity for renewables and storage — turning connection rights into a headline asset class in their own right, not a line item buried in diligence.

As an M&A intermediary running competitive, non-binding-offer processes for renewables capacity and grid-connection rights across Iberia, our practitioner read is simple: when capacity is this contested, the process protects as much value as the megawatts themselves.
A disciplined NBO process means multiple qualified counterparties at the table, not one. It means technical due diligence on the underlying grid studies before a number is discussed. It means a timeline both sides can actually hold to.
We’ve structured Development Services Agreements and asset co-ownership with international IPPs precisely because sellers wanted that rigor — a defensible process, not just a signature.
Portugal, Spain and further afield, the pattern repeats: as grid capacity tightens, the seller who runs a real process outperforms the seller who takes the first offer.
