Get StartedSome of these data are still provisional so they may vary somewhat when they become definitive, but they will be small changes that will not affect the overall picture. As Red Eléctrica itself announced in December, wind power is once again the leading source of electricity generation in Spain with 23%.
Spain continues to generate more electricity from renewable sources as its renewable share of electricity rose to 50.8 percent in 2023 from 42.2 percent in 2022. According to a draft government report issued in June, Spain’s goal is to raise the share of renewables to four-fifths by 2030.
According to a draft government report issued in June, Spain’s goal is to raise the share of renewables to four-fifths by 2030. The new climate plan includes higher targets for solar and wind power capacity as well as energy storage.
Every third wind turbine currently operating in Spain was installed before 2005 and the lifespan of wind turbines generating electricity is about 20 to 25 years —far less than the 40 to 60 year life of coal, gas and nuclear plants.
As Red Eléctrica itself announced in December, wind power is once again the leading source of electricity generation in Spain with 23%. It is followed by nuclear and photovoltaic continues its unstoppable rise and is already the third most important source.
Over half of Spain’s electricity was generated from renewable energy in 2023, and a new government proposal sets a goal of 80 percent by 2030 at a cost of $322 billion. Spain’s new government goal to double wind capacity means it would need to almost triple wind installations from current annual rates.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%.
