How many further renewable There is an electrical system, cheaper the electricity it produces. To this comparison International Energy Agency (IEA) gave him a face and numbers: renewable energy installed in Spain Will generate accumulated savings between 2021 and 2023 10,000 million euros at that time by replacing the more expensive fossil fuel production from the market. There comes a time when there will be more connected facilities at the end of the period, so savings increase, so some 3,000 million euros corresponds to the first two yearswhile The remaining 7,000 million belong to this year..

AIE considers the Spanish case only as a examplebut does not create a shell expected amount for the whole of this year installed power in this country where you do the calculation. However, and in the absence of what will happen next six monthfrom From January 2021 to the present they were founded More than 11,000 new megawatts (MW) of clean energyAccording to Red Eléctrica (REE), 2,600 MW of this is wind and 9,000 MW is solar. It was established at that time to understand its greatness. one-fifth of the total power related to wind power And photovoltaic in the country (50,000 MW).

Savings throughout the European Union It amounts to 100,000 million euros between 2021 and 2023. In this case, the affiliate OECD estimates the total installed capacity to be 150 gigawatts (GW), almost 90 GW corresponds to Installed capacity in 2021 and 2022 and 60 GW This is in line with this year’s forecast. This “acceleration” of grid-tied wind and solar since 2021 has succeeded in displacing some. 230 terawatt-hours (TWh) fossil production (gas and coal) the European electricity market that helps lowering prices.

Without this growth in renewable capacity, average electricity wholesale price 2% in 2021, 8% in 2022 and 15% this year. Although the agency adds that there may be savings has been 15% longer if he has the ability wind and solar energy The share of the European Union would grow even faster.

War Momentum

agency created after oil crisis 1973 to coordinate energy policies Member States, energy crisis Given the extraordinary, interest in these technologies has grown rapidly rise electricity pricesdue to the political impulses of countries such as photovoltaic energy making it more economically attractive Germany, Italy or the Netherlands.

This is body based Paris to increase Growth projections for Europe this year and next year are 40% compared to pre-war figures. Globally, the increase rose to 107 GW, More than 440 GW in 2023, The largest absolute increase in history. And China will account for 55% of this new renewable capacity. The agency will celebrate the year 2024 as a total world capacity is 4,500 GW.

“Energy sun and wind leading to its rapid expansion. global energy economy. This year, the world is preparing to add some record more than renewable energy full power capacity Germany and Spain together“said the IEA’s executive director, Fatih Birol. “But to achieve growth stronger means tackling some core challenges. Policies need to be adapted accordingly changing market conditionsand we need to update and expand electrical networks to ensure that we can make the most of the enormous potential of solar and wind energy,” he adds.
