Random observation. In Spain, solar + wind have provided almost 50% of the electricity consumption for (not yet complete) 2023. Thereby, Spain has surpassed Denmark, Germany, and all other countries in the world in terms of green energy implementation

  1. Funnily enough I still pay “tope de gas” when my company doesn’t use gas to make electricity. Oh boy

  2. Sadly, it would have happened years before, but the former goverment didn’t want.

    In the current data, it should be taken in account that Spain is exporting a lot of electricity to Europe, because the price differences. Without that exports, the rate would be higher than that

  4. Sorry, i got a big mistake.
    Denmark have ~60% of consumption with solar + wind, it’s better than in Spain. But Spain also have good second place

  5. About time too. How is it possible that in a country like Spain, with plenty of empty space and abundant sunshine there isn’t a greater amount of solar energy generation? Because the governments have a vested interest in keeping on with traditional forms of electricity generation. You just have to look at the number of ex-ministers now working for the power companies. It is disgusting. It is shameful. And now that electricity and gas have such a huge cost to the consumer and the producers are still making a fortune with the connivance of the administration.

  6. Vamos España!!! Ahora a hacer lo mismo con la recuperación del poder adquisitivo de los súbditos ya que estamos aquí!

  8. Regardless as a spaniard here we will never see the cost reduction of renewables just a “its too expensive to run” and therefor heres is a 85 % hike in “tax”. Its great however we have a lot of resources to pull from but greed surpasses them all.

  11. Interested in how solar develops in Spain over the next decade. It has absolutely massive potential for solar power.

  14. Imagine where we would be today if we did’t let M. Rajoy (whoever that is) tax the fucking sun.
