Congress Ratifies Nuclear Phase-Out Schedule Without Extensions
The Lower House has definitively confirmed the established timeline for the progressive decommissioning of nuclear power plants in Spain, ruling out any additional extension to their operation beyond what is foreseen in current legislation. This parliamentary decision consolidates the national energy strategy and accelerates the migration towards sustainable alternatives. ⚡
Political Landscape During the Vote
The initiative by the People's Party to prolong the activity of nuclear reactors did not garner the necessary support, while the Junts group decided to abstain during the plenary session. This stance did not alter the final outcome, allowing the decommissioning program designed by the executive to remain intact.
Key Aspects of the Decision:- Rejection of extending the operational life of nuclear power plants
- Abstention of the Junts parliamentary group in the vote

The process will continue to develop as planned, prioritizing the promotion of renewable energies and other clean sources within the national framework. 🌱
Central Elements of the Transition:- Progressive implementation of alternative energies
- Alignment with environmental sustainability objectives
- Priority development of renewable sources in the energy mix
Future of the Spanish Energy Sector
This historic decision marks a turning point in the reconfiguration of the national energy landscape, establishing the foundations for a more ecological and sustainable productive model in the long term. The scheduled closure of nuclear power plants represents a firm commitment to environmental protection and innovation in green technologies. 🌍
