• Catalunya aims to achieve 100% renewable energy system by 2050, which poses challenges due to local resistance to the installation of wind and photovoltaic parks.
• The Generalitat is carrying out an informative and participatory process to inform municipalities about the Territorial Sectorial Plan for Renewable Energies (Plater).
• Work is underway to negotiate with each municipality and advance in renewable energies, both wind and photovoltaic, as they substantially lower the price of energy and are fundamental to reduce the cost of living and ensure business competitiveness.
• The main problem is to ensure that wind and photovoltaic parks harmonize with the environment without causing too much damage to nature. It is anticipated that only 1.2% of the territory needs to be occupied.
• Catalunya only generates 13% of its electricity, compared to 52.3% of the state as a whole, and primarily depends on fossil and nuclear energies, highlighting the need to accelerate the implementation of renewable energies.

Conclusion: The implementation of renewable energies poses an educational, environmental, and political challenge for Catalunya that requires the cooperation of all political parties, social agents, and citizen institutions. However, it is crucial for achieving energy sustainability, sovereignty, and for ensuring a future of sustainable progress.
