Programa RENOCICLA Grant

About this grant

The RENOCICLA Programme is a Spanish state aid scheme run by IDAE to promote the circular economy of capital goods used in renewable energy. It is financed under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR) through NextGenerationEU funds. The stated aim is to support recycling and second-life processing of renewable energy equipment so that end-of-life components are reused rather than discarded. The programme has two lines of action. Programme 1 funds installations for recycling and/or second life of renewable energy equipment, specifically photovoltaic solar panels, wind turbine blades and batteries. Programme 2 funds innovation projects in the eco-design of renewable energy capital goods. The aid is part of investment C12.I5 'Esquema de ayudas para apoyar sectores clave de la economía circular' within Component 12 'Política Industrial de España 2030' of Spain's PRTR, and is aligned with the PERTE de Economía Circular. Aid is awarded through competitive concurrence as non-repayable grants. The total allocation for the first call is stated as 100 million euros. The legal basis is Orden TED/542/2025 of 28 May 2025, which sets the regulatory bases. The first call was approved by IDAE's Board on 11 June 2025 and its extract was published in the BOE on 28 June 2025 (BDNS 839514). The page indicates that the definitive resolution of the first call was published on 18 March 2026.

About this sector

Circular economy funding supports reuse, repair, remanufacturing, product redesign and secondary materials markets. Grants tend to back pilots with businesses and local authorities, while tenders buy collection, sorting and recovery services. Applicants are usually asked to show the material flows involved and who will buy the recovered output.
