In a context in which the irrigation electricity bill has soared 1,000% in the past eight years, what impact will the creation of the trans-European energy network is developing the European Union? A common energy market will allow to realize self-production in Spain that have been asking irrigators to reduce costs? Will it make possible to advance the modernization of irrigation according to this double efficiency: water and energy?

We invite you to ask directly about these and other current issues drawing the conclusion of this meeting, which will also feature in the presence of President of FENACORE, Andrés del Campo.
