Spain will invest €50m ($58.6m) in grants to help shift its power and heat production plants to use renewable fuel sources rather than fossil fuels, according to the country’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition.

The grants will be supplied through the second round of Renocogen scheme, which is funded by the EU’s NextGeneration recovery fund.
