France and Spain inaugurate the newly combined electrecity project on February 20 which will connect both countries after thirty years of demands by the Spanish Goverment, allowing an increase of opportunities for operations with renewable energies. This project has been funded to the amount of 225 million euros by the European Energy Program for Recovery.
