Summary edit

Description
English: This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 13 August 2020 shows the largest hydroelectric pumped storage plant in operation in Europe, the La Muela Hydroelectric Power Complex Plant located in the Province of Valencia (Spain). This is only one example among several operational renewable power plants in Spain, while in the coming years many other renewable power plants will be built in the country. At the beginning of November 2020, the Spanish Government announced plans to reach the European Union’s carbon neutrality objective by 2050 through a 90% of reduction in emissions, the reforestation of 20,000 hectares, the recovery of 50,000 hectares of wetlands and the increase of the share of renewable power from 20% to 97%. The Vice-President of the Spanish Government and Ecological Transition Minister also added that Spain intends to go well beyond the targets set by the European Green Deal. Copernicus, in addition to the provision of satellite images via Sentinel satellites, also includes six Services: Land Monitoring, Emergency Management, Climate Change, Marine Monitoring, Atmosphere Monitoring and Security. Among the many products delivered, the Copernicus Climate Service supports the energy sector by providing information related to weather (wind, solar and hydro) and energy (capacity factors, demand, volatility) forecasts at a regional and national level in Europe.
