I believe that Spain has immense potential to harness solar energy given our geographical position and climate. Expanding solar capacity is pivotal for not only our energy independence but also to become an essential renewable energy hub for the European Union.

Alternative support measures can be explored to aid businesses without compromising tax policy consistency.
