Solar power in Spain

Spain''s solar potential. Spain is one of the first countries to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaics, and is the world leader in concentrated solar power (CSP) production. In 2022, the cumulative total solar power installed was 19.5 GW, of which 17.2 GW were solar PV installations and 2.3 GW were concentrated solar power.

In 2023, Spain implemented the largest installed solar

In 2023, installed solar photovoltaic power increased by 28%, bringing an additional 5,594 MW to the Spanish generation pool, the highest figure since records began. As a result, this technology now has 25,549 MW in service, representing 20.3% of the total Spanish energy generation pool.

Renewable energy in Spain

By 2030, Spain plans to generate at least 76 percent of electricity using renewable technologies such as wind and solar. This text provides general information.

National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Spain

Solar PV develops in Spain mainly in ground mounted utility-scale plants. The available land, the good solar resource and the competitiveness of the technology made PV the most installed technology at the utility scale segment in 2020. In addition, almost all the newly installed PV capacity (2,812 MW DC) did not receive any public support program.
