Commission greenlights EUR 50 million cleantech State aid scheme in Catalonia
The Commission has approved a EUR 50 million scheme introduced by the Spanish region of Catalonia to support manufacturing capacity aligned with the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal.
The scheme, adopted under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) of June 2025, aims to accelerate the transition towards a net-zero economy. It will be open to companies investing in the expansion of manufacturing capacity for net-zero technologies, including the production of key components listed in Annex II of the CISAF. It also supports the production of new or recovered critical raw materials necessary for these technologies.
The aid will be provided in the form of direct grants financed by Catalonia’s regional government and will be available until 31 December 2030.
The Commission found that the scheme complies with the conditions set out in the CISAF. It incentivises the production of clean technologies and their components, while supporting the supply of essential raw materials. The Commission concluded that the measure is necessary and appropriate to facilitate the development of strategic economic activities linked to the Clean Industrial Deal.
