Adif Alta Velocidad (Adif AV) has finalized a contract with Iberdrola Clients for the procurement of green electricity. This agreement, distinguished by its Guarantee of Origin (GdO), specifically caters to non-remote metered supply points including passenger stations, buildings, and a variety of other railway facilities, intentionally excluding traction for train operators. The contract spans the years 2024 to 2025, encompassing facilities that are not directly consumption-monitored by Adif AV, with an allocated budget of EUR 14.4 million. However, the actual cost is contingent on factors such as real consumption levels and fluctuations in the OMIE wholesale market or potential price coverage in the OMIP market, with an estimated annual consumption of 27.9 GWh for these facilities.

To streamline the process, supply points were organized into three groups to standardize access rates and market expenses. The arranged price will apply uniformly across all supply points, including future registrations throughout the contract term, ensuring homogenized costs.
