Taking advantage of sunny plains, hills with strong winds, and fast-flowing rivers, Spain aims for renewable energy to account for 81% of its total energy mix by 2030, up from about 50% currently.

Recently published data from grid operator Redeia shows that Spain generated nearly 60% of its electricity from renewable energy sources in the first half of 2024, thanks to new solar capacities and increased hydroelectric production.

Wind farms generated 24.4% of the total, up from 24.1% a year ago, while solar plants generated 16.3% of the total, up from 13.8%, and hydroelectric plants accounted for 15.9%, up from 9.8%, according to Redeia’s data.

The main source of non-renewable electricity is nuclear energy, which produced 18.6% of electricity in the first half of the year. The data indicates that Spain is approaching its goal of generating 80% of its energy without carbon dioxide emissions.
