It was found that wind power accounts for the biggest proportion of Spain's total power generation. Solar energy can be known to be growing rapidly.

Energy media outlet Levy reported on the 4th (local time) that wind power accounted for 31.2% of Spain's total power generation in February, maintaining its leading position in power generation. Moreover, solar energy generation reached 11.3%.

In response to this, Spain's overall electricity demand increased by 0.8% in comparison with the previous 12 months. Amongst them, renewable energy production similar to wind power and solar energy reached 13,152 gigawatt hours (GWh), a 32.9% increase in comparison with the identical month last 12 months. This accounts for about 60% of total energy production.
all.

Particularly, wind power generation produced 6901GWh, a rise of 47.6% in comparison with the previous 12 months. As well as, Spain ranked first by way of energy production for five consecutive months.

Hydroelectric power generation also ranked third overall with 3,242GWh, a 31.6% increase from the previous 12 months. Solar energy generation increased by 16.2% to 2,500 GWh.

On account of these aspects, Spain's decarbonized energy production reached an all-time high this month, reaching 81.4% of total energy production. Particularly, on February tenth, a record figure of 88.5% was recorded.

The reason is that this shows that Spain is establishing itself as a pacesetter in renewable energy.

Within the Spanish peninsula alone, the share of renewable energy was 61.7% of the overall, recording 12,980 GWh, a 32.4% increase from the previous 12 months. Technology without carbon emissions contributed to 84.7% of the overall power generation.

It is usually analyzed that necessary changes have occurred within the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands. Efforts to transition to sustainable energy are accelerating across Spain, with renewables and zero-CO2 production accounting for 11.2% of the overall within the Balearics and 19.7% within the Canary Islands.

“The continued growth of wind and solar energy is a vital milestone in Spain’s leadership in sustainable energy solutions and plays a key role in accelerating the worldwide transition to renewable energy,” said Levé.
