In terms of solar photovoltaic generation by autonomous communities, Castile-La Mancha was the community that produced the most electricity in 2024, with 10,822 GWh, which represents 24.3% of
Electricity generation from solar, measured in terawatt-hours.
Spain''s electricity mix includes 21% Wind, 20% Solar and 20% Gas. Low-carbon generation peaked in 2024.
As a legacy from Spain''s earlier development of solar power, the country remains a world leader in concentrated solar power. Many large concentrated solar power stations remain active in Spain and
Historically, the average for Spain from 1980 to 2023 is 5.86 billion kilowatthours. The minimum value, 0 billion kilowatthours, was reached in 1980 while the maximum of 45.92 billion kilowatthours was

Spain is one of the first countries to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaics, and is the world leader in concentrated solar power (CSP) production. Spain is also one of the European countries with the most hours of sunshine. 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 the same year, solar power accounted for 11.
Renewable energy is currently experiencing substantial development in Spain. With the goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050, the country is implementing measures to achieve a 100
Spain''s solar PV capacity reached 6 GW in 2024, making it the country''s top power source with a 25.1% share, surpassing wind at 24.9%. Renewable generation grew 10.3%,
Average solar radiation and peak sun hours data indicate that Spain has a potential of 1700 to 1934 kWh per kWp generation capability per year.
Solar PV led the way with 25% of total generation, followed by wind at 17.8% and hydro at 7.8%. The figures underscore the growing dominance of solar PV, which now produces 1 in every 4 units of
The amount of solar photovoltaic energy generated in Spain up to 5 October 2024 was more than all the energy registered in 2023, according to data provided by Red Eléctrica.
