Currently, Spain ranks third in the EU for its share of solar power in the electricity mix, following Hungary and Greece, and second in total solar generation after Germany. This growth reflects Spain’s commitment to renewable energy and its strategic geographic advantage.
Since he took power in 2018, energy developers have built solar parks, proved that power generation had attractive returns and pulled in capital from yield-hungry investors. In 2023 and 2024, Spain added more solar power capacity than any other European country except Germany, whose economy is more than twice its size.
The abundance of wind and solar in Spain’s energy mix reflects natural geographical advantages and years of deliberate policy decisions to promote renewables over fossil fuels. Spain was one of Europe’s renewable energy pioneers, installing more than 20 GW of wind power in the early 2000s.
Spain shines brightly as Europe’s utility-scale solar energy leader, according to new data from Global Energy Monitor.
Although wind is currently the most used renewable resource in the Mediterranean country, solar energy is growing at a very fast pace. In fact, the solar capacity installed has more than quintupled in the last five years. In 2023, Spain was the sixth country worldwide in terms of new capacity additions.
Solar photovoltaics, with its technological and regulatory evolution, is already essential to ensuring a safe, efficient, and sustainable transition.
