Nedgia contracts 45 connections to biomethane plants for injection in Spain

In Spain, Nedgia, the Naturgy Group’s gas distributor, has already signed 45 contracts for connection to biomethane plants for the injection of renewable gas into its gas distribution network. The injection capacity linked to these requests amounts to 2,400 GWh/year, equivalent to the gas consumption of nearly half a million homes in Spain.

By autonomous community, Nedgia has signed a total of 13 connection contracts in Castilla y León, 10 in Castilla-La Mancha, 8 in Catalonia, 5 in Galicia, 4 in Andalusia, 3 in Navarre and 2 in the Valencian Community. 70% of the biomethane injection volume from these applications is concentrated in Castilla y León (630 GWh/year), Castilla-La Mancha (586 GWh/year) and Catalonia (449 GWh/year).

The gas network plays a strategic role in the deployment of renewable gases. Nedgia currently has seven biomethane generation facilities connected to its network with a combined injection capacity of 200 GWh/year. In addition to the plants that are already operating and injecting renewable gas into the distribution network, there are 14 more facilities in the construction phase or in very advanced administrative processing with an injection capacity of 741 GWh/year that will be connected to the Nedgia network soon.
