Sara Aagesen, the current Secretary of State for Energy, is set to become Spain's new Minister for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

This appointment follows Teresa Ribera's anticipated move to the European Commission as Vice President.

Aagesen, an environmental engineer, has been a key figure in Spain's energy policy since 2018, playing a crucial role in updating the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan.

Her new role will involve addressing the future of nuclear energy and strengthening Spain's electrical networks.

Despite her technical background, Aagesen is expected to maintain continuity in Spain's energy policies, focusing on decarbonization and sustainable energy solutions.
