Madrid recognizes Ceisa in El Pajar as an electro-intensive industry

The central government has authorized Red Eléctrica de España to recognize the Ceisa cement plant in El Pajar, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, as an electro-intensive industry and bill 423.253 euros corresponding to the billing for the period between January and December 2022.

 

 

 

The Energy Directorate and the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines have assessed the amount for the corresponding services as part of the ballast shedding mechanism to avoid blackouts through a cushion that guarantees covering demand, even in extreme situations, either by reducing consumption - disconnecting the factory, like the old interruptibility -, either with more energy, produced directly or from storage systems.

The interruptible industry, brought together in the Association of Companies with Large Energy Consumption (Aege), of which Ceisa is not a part, has analyzed the rapid response strategic reserve to support the electrical system adjustment services, proposed by a Ministerial order in the public information phase of the Portfolio directed by Teresa Ribera, and he does not find it to his liking.

 

 

 

Since the end of July, Red Eléctrica de España, as the System operator, has already had the green light for the provisional settlement of the interruptibility demand management service provided by Ceisa as well as the provisional settlement of the penalties for non-compliance that, in its case, are imposed in the manner, terms and conditions provided for in Chapter IV of the ITC ORDER/
2370/2007, of July 26.
