This Renewable energies progressing steadily in Spainreaching really impressive numbers in recent years. 2022 has only confirmed and reinforced this upward trend that accelerates the abandonment of fossil fuels and energy independence. At the moment, 58% of the installed energy in the country is already from renewable sources.
It is the wind that continues to achieve the best results among all clean sources. Wind energy breaks production record in 2022It is reinforcing itself as the first renewable technology in the electricity system, as highlighted by the Wind Energy Cooperation (AEE).
Specifically, and according to the forecasts of Red Eléctrica de España (REE), the wind energy year is leading renewable technology and Reaching a production record for the year with more than 61,000 GWh.
Currently, Spain has 29,798 megawatts (MW) of installed wind power, with an increase of 1,659 new wind megawatts in 2022.
If the set of clean energy sources is taken into account, they are already the majority in the Spanish mix. Special, Considering that 4.6 new renewable GWs are installed in 2022, more than 58% of installed electricity power in Spain is already renewable.
2,000 million savings in electricity price
As PREPA emphasizes, fiscal year 2022 confirms that the wind industry is “an essential part of the progress of our economy and society”, with more than 250 core industries and maintaining 100% of the value chain, currently adding 32,000 jobs. It contributed 0.49% to GDP and by October has managed to save Spanish citizens more than 2,000 million euros on the price of electricity.
“We continue to lead the development of technology as the sixth country in the world for wind energy patents and the first in the development of floating offshore wind prototypes.”
In addition, this positive situation may continue to increase as offshore wind farm projects currently run by Spanish public administrations become operational.
