20 Nov CLANER joins the new Interregional Alliance of Energy Clusters of Spain
November 19, 2025.-
The clusters of Andalusia, Aragón, the Balearic Islands, Castilla y León, Catalonia, the Valencian Community, Extremadura, Galicia and Navarre will collaborate to boost regional cooperation, innovation and progress in the energy transition.
The nine regional clusters signing the agreement bring together more than 900 members, including companies, technology centres, universities, public administrations and professional associations.
This morning, the Interregional Alliance of Energy Clusters of Spain was established in Madrid, with the Andalusian Renewable Energy Association (CLANER) joining as a founding member.
The coalition is promoted by the energy sector clusters of Andalusia, Aragón, the Balearic Islands, Castilla y León, Catalonia, the Valencian Community, Extremadura, Galicia and Navarre, and was formally constituted during the Genera 2025 trade fair.
The alliance has been created with the aim of strengthening cooperation between territories, driving innovation, and advancing towards a fair, orderly and cohesive energy transition across the entire national territory. Together, the nine signatory clusters represent 917 companies, technology centres, universities, public administrations and professional associations from across the country linked to the energy sector.
CLANER’s president, Alfonso Vargas, stressed that “the launch of this alliance is key for the national energy sector because, for the first time, the most representative clusters from different autonomous communities are joining forces in the same direction to tackle the major challenges of the energy transition with strength and coordination. This collaboration will allow us to promote broader initiatives, enhance the competitiveness of Andalusian companies and those from other regions, and ensure that the transformation of the energy model reaches all territories in Spain effectively and equitably.”
