Installed capacity | System reports
As of 31 December 2024, the Spanish electricity system''s installed capacity, including both the peninsular and non-peninsular systems, as well as generation and storage capacity, had increased
•Dominance of Grid-Connected PV: The importance of grid-connected PV in Spain is significantly greater than that of self-consumption PV. This is reflected in the higher installed capacity in 2023, the larger cumulative capacity, and its key role in Spain's strategic energy plans—standing out compared to other European countries.
Task 1 – National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Spain 2023 21 renewable energy innovation, energy storage, and the implementation of renewable thermal systems.
Spain had more than 1,100 hours of zero- or negatively-priced electricity in 2024: more than 45 days. Despite this, battery energy storage systems (BESS) remain rare, with grid operator Red Eléctrica España (REE) recording just 3.36 GW of grid-connected energy storage, 3.3 GW of which was pumped hydro.
