The document discusses Navarra, a region in Spain, and its leadership in renewable energy. Navarra generates over 81% of its electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar, far exceeding EU targets for 2020. This clean energy production has avoided over 25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions and created over 5,000 green jobs. Navarra is home to research centers like CENER that develop new renewable technologies and training centers like CENIFER that educate technicians in renewables. The region's success shows that investment in renewable energy can drive economic growth while fighting climate change.

04.01 Renewable energy sources
With a population of 636,924 and 240,000 homes,
Navarra is a world benchmark in the production of
clean energy, mainly wind power.
The region covers 4,023 square miles (2% of the
surface area of Spain).
Since 2000, Navarra has stopped emitting 25
million tons of CO2, to the atmosphere thanks to
production from renewable energy sources.

04.03 Energy and Employment:
The new companies created in the sector have generated an associated industrial fabric
of around 100 companies and over 5.000 jobs. They contribute 5% of the region’s
Gross Domestic Product.
This new economic sector is characterized by the fact that it creates specially-skilled
jobs that have high added value.
At present, a number of companies located in Navarra are leading the wind park
development sector (Acciona Energía, Eólica Navarra-Grupo Enhol, Gamesa Energía,
Natural Gas-Fenosa Renovables and Iberdrola) and wind turbine/component
manufacturers) Acciona Windpower, Alstom Power (Ecotecnia), Gamesa Eólica,
Ingeteam and M. Torres).
After consolidating their presence in Navarra many of these companies have
undertaken a process of international expansion.

CENER
The National Renewables Center, set up in 2002. More
than 200 researchers are now working on projects in
CENER for new energy applications in wind and solar
(photovoltaic and thermal) power, biomass, bioclimatic Production = Companies
architecture and electronics and hydrogen in basic
research and external projects for business customers.
Cener has invested more than 100 million € in cutting P
edge technological infraestructure.
CENIFER
Center for Integrated National Training in Renewables,
founded in 2003. Located in Imárcoain, south of the city of
Pamplona, it provides vocational training at various levels: T R
Degree, vocational training and other courses for companies
and professionals. Training = CENIFER Research (R&D+i)= CENER
In CENIFER’s, 430,000-square feet, more than 5,000
