GA_P strengthens its focus on renewable energies – Cinco Días
The Cinco Días newspaper published an article under the title “law firms think green,” which references “the green revolution” that has reached the legal sector. The earthquake caused by the Next Generation Funds will leave a rain of 750.000 million euros to countries of the Union in aid for digitalization and ecological transition projects, which indicates an increase in demand for experts in environmental issues to face hours of negotiation and complex public tenders, a scene where lawyers will play an important role.
Thus, the article mentions the recent incorporations of Vanessa Armas and Eduardo Orteu to the Madrid and Barcelona offices, whose objective is to strengthen the Energy area of Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, “in particular with lawyers who have extensive experience in Public Administration”, and expertise in financing operations for infrastructure and renewable energy projects, as well as in sustainability, the environment, and water.

Supreme Court rules on ‘administrative silence’ in the electricity sector: “public service” or “service of general economic interest”
The Supreme Court judgment of 10 April 2026 characterises the concept of public service under Article 24(1) of Act 39/2015 as an exception to the ‘double silence’ rule, distinguishing it from the concept of service of general economic interest, which applies in liberalized sectors such as that of electricity supply. The Supreme Court thus concludes that in seeking an authorisation to close a combined-cycle power plant, the ‘double silence’ rule applies to the effect of a presumption of approval.
