Abstract: espanolEl crecimiento economico de los paises emergentes ha traido como consecuencia inmediata el incremento del consumo energetico y en particular de combustibles fosiles, responsables de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, tendencia que se mantendra a futuro, con la consiguiente repercusion sobre los precios de los combustibles y el medioambiente. Adicionalmente, la dependencia energetica de areas politicamente inestables es una fuente de preocupacion que obliga a un cambio del modelo energetico que permita garantizar la seguridad y sostenibilidad del desarrollo economico. Este nuevo modelo energetico se debe apoyar en la eficiencia y ahorro energetico, la diversificacion del suministro y la incorporacion de tecnologias limpias y renovables. En este escenario energetico la electricidad esta llamada a jugar un papel central dado el previsible incremento de la demanda, el peso que tiene en la produccion de emisiones de GEI y su condicion de vector clave para la incorporacion de las energias renovables a la dieta energetica. EnglishThe fast economic growth of the very large emerging countries (China, India...) has impacted heavily in the world energy consumption. In particular the world consumption of all fossil fuels, which are responsible of the Greenhouse effect, has soared. And this tendency will stay in the future, with important consequences in the fossil fuels prices and in the environment. This growth model is not sustainable. Moreover, the energy dependence of Europe with respect to politically unstable regions makes it necessary to change the energy model to a new one that can ensure security of supply and the sustainability of the economic development. This new energy model must be based on energy efficiency, energy saving, diversification of supply and new clean and renewable energy sources. In this new energy framework, electricity is to play a central role given the forecasted electri - city demand increase, the weight of electricity production in greenhouse gasses production and, above all, its availability and capability to be a major vector to allow the introduction and development of renewable energy sources in the energy supply mix.
