The staggered shutdown schedule between 2027 and 2035 stems from a protocol agreed in 2019 between the Government and the owning utility companies, which means that any extension requires not only political will, but also contractual renegotiation, a review of the economic and financial framework applicable to nuclear power, and a solution to the cost of waste management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Boton-block_9397083da8f16d3a0e1d2d65be2f2890\" class=\"Boton\">\n\n            <a class=\"primaryCta scaleFromLeft rotateIcon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elconfidencial.com\/juridico\/2026-04-21\/reclamaciones-apagon-energia-nuclear-despachos-energia_4341554\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Ver noticia<\/span>\n                        <div class=\"containerImg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" src=\"https:\/\/ga-p.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ga-p\/assets\/images\/external-icon.svg\" \/><\/div><\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ColumnaSidebar-block_c74bfc77ef5119ce2e7b60d553865825\" class=\"blanco ColumnaSidebar\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n\n<div id=\"NoticiaPublicacionInformacion-block_65c8703eb41955c35f4569cf241791cc\" class=\"NoticiaPublicacionInformacion\">\n\n    <div class=\"personal_office\">\n        <div class=\"personal\">\n\n            \n            \n                        <div class=\"categorias\">\n                <div class=\"titleCategoria\">Category<\/div>\n                                    <p class=\"item\">\n                        <span class=\"rectangleBlu\"> <\/span>\n                        <span class=\"nameAuthor text-decoration-none\">Press mention<\/span>\n                    <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n            \n                        <div class=\"areas_sectores\">\n                <div class=\"titleCategoria\">Areas and sectors<\/div>\n                                                                            <p class=\"item\">\n                            <span class=\"rectangleBlu\"> <\/span>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/ga-p.com\/en\/sector\/energy\/\" class=\"nameAuthor\">Energy<\/a>\n                        <\/p>\n                                                <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ColumnaMasSidebar-block_c05a5f0df572be704c0e4d3ba4e7f96d\" class=\"ColumnaMasSidebar v1\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"hero-inner-blocks\">\n<div id=\"ColumnaIzquierda-block_f463fa919b7ff5218f07885256bc96c7\" class=\"blanco ColumnaIzquierda\">\n    <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<div id=\"AnteriorSiguiente-block_c8dfb0718f9e72433cf3bdc47b5d89de\" class=\"AnteriorSiguiente\">\n\n\n            <div class=\"containerButtons\">\n            <a class=\"primaryCta prev disabled\" href=\"https:\/\/ga-p.com\/en\/news\/covid-19-statement-gomez-acebo-pombo\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"prev post\">See previous                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" src=\"https:\/\/ga-p.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ga-p\/assets\/images\/arrow-left-primary.svg\" \/>\n            <\/a>\n            <a class=\"primaryCta next \" href=\"https:\/\/ga-p.com\/en\/news\/ga_p-ranks-among-the-top-10-firms-by-deal-value-in-spains-real-estate-ma-ranking\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"next post\">See next                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" src=\"https:\/\/ga-p.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ga-p\/assets\/images\/arrow-right-primary.svg\" \/>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00f3mez-Acebo &#038; Pombo\u2019s Energy team reflects in El Confidencial on the potential claims arising from the recent power blackout and the debate surrounding the future of Spain\u2019s energy mix, particularly in relation to the nuclear plant shutdown schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categoria":[273],"class_list":["post-394398","noticia","type-noticia","status-publish","hentry","categoria-press-mention"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
