  • The election of Teresa Ribera as the European Vice President for the Clean, Fair, and Competitive Transition affords Spain a key position in the EU context.
  • Her role is essential in reconciling the green pact with competitiveness and leading decarbonization and industrialization in a way that does not hinder the European economy.
  • Ribera is likely to have to temper the dogmatism with which she previously performed, given her opposition to nuclear energy and confrontations with energy companies.
  • The appointment of Ribera represents an opportunity for Spain and the EU as a whole.

Conclusion: Ribera's appointment may imply a change in her stance on energy and energy companies. However, her election presents considerable opportunity for Spain and the European Union in its green trajectory.
