The Independent Authority for Fiscal Responsibility (AIReF) has updated its <a href=”https://www.airef.es/es/datalab/herramientas-interactivas-de-la-airef/observatorio-del-prtr/”>Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (RTRP) Observatory</a> to include data for the second quarter of 2026, a period in which contracts were formalised and grants awarded for almost EUR 4 billion.
AIReF’s RTRP Monitor is an interactive data visualisation tool that tracks the implementation of the RTRP by drawing on publicly available information from public administration tender and grant databases. The tool only captures RTRP spending implemented through grants and tenders, without including other execution mechanisms such as staff recruitment, direct payments or minor contracts, among others.
With the data for the second quarter of 2026, contracts have been formalised and grants awarded for a total of EUR 64.882 billion across 1.67 million transactions. The number of unique awardees or beneficiaries amounts to 1.48 million, as a single beneficiary may receive more than one grant or contract award.
The second quarter of 2026 saw strong progress in grants for the decarbonisation of manufacturing industry, with 29 awards totalling EUR 518 million, all concentrated in this period. These measures fall under Component 12 (Industrial Policy), which accounts for more than EUR 1.3 billion of spending in 2026. Renewable hydrogen projects also stand out in the second quarter, with grants awarded in 2026 totalling approximately EUR 550 million.
AIReF’s RTRP Observatory provides a high level of granularity, offering detailed information on the allocation of RTRP funds by subsector, component and investment line. It shows the amounts formalised and awarded against the allocation for each component, together with a breakdown by investment line and rankings of the RTRP elements receiving the largest share of funds. All the microdata underpinning the tool’s aggregations, figures and tables have been made publicly available for download in a machine-readable format.
