In fact, the impact we have on a global level is very important, because during the years of the economic crisis, when solar energy was not being installed in Spain, national companies had to go abroad, and thanks to this, today they are world leaders.

But it is also true that there are a lot of documentary obstacles and it is also difficult to find talent. It is difficult to find electricians and technicians. This is something that affects all manufacturers, the whole sector in general. And the diagnosis is very good, with communities that are betting a lot on energy, but I think we also have to raise awareness that if we want to decarbonise or denuclearise Spain, we have to convince ourselves that renewable energies are the right way to go.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f332d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"44f332d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Navarra is a pioneer in numerous regulatory aspects such as the strategic plans enacted in recent decades.

The evolution that the region followed, first with wind energy and then with photovoltaic energy, added to the large number of engineers, and the specific qualifications that exist, such as masters in renewable energy or training centres, makes it a very attractive region. This, together with the support of the Government of Navarra and the aids for start-ups and companies that are starting from scratch, as well as the desire they are showing to attract foreign companies, is what is making Navarra so successful in this industry.<\/p><p>This is something we have to protect, because to meet energy demands we need a combination of national and foreign companies that can jointly benefit from the economy of scale to implement their products and technology in Spain and southern Europe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-67eea5f\" data-id=\"67eea5f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efdfa53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"efdfa53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/sungrow.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7027\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/sungrow.webp 750w, https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/sungrow-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13fd372 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"13fd372\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a1997e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0a1997e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"638\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Javier-Izcue.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7022\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Javier-Izcue.png 638w, https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Javier-Izcue-297x300.png 297w, https:\/\/investinnavarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Javier-Izcue-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3708a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d3708a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Javier Izcue<\/b><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1722919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1722919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Director of Southern Europe at Sungrow<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sungrow Ib\u00e9rica&#8217;s presence in Navarra is due to the fact that its current director, Javier Izcue, was convinced that the region would be an ideal place to implement an ambitious business plan in the field of renewables.
