2. the curent Iberian drought will likely lower hydro power production for the rest of the year,**nonetheless renewables are growing faster than hydro is declining**

   **solar and wind accounted for 43% of electricity generation in Spain so far this year,compared to 35% last year**

   solar now has a higher share than hydro(15% vs 11%)

   27% of electricity came from natural gas in the first 6 months of last year,vs 19.4% now

   nuclear share increased by 1% to 22.4%

   coal is dying out at only 1.6% of electricity generation so far in 2023

   Spain is getting less and less dependent on coal and LNG imports

3. Sexy. Way to go Spaniards.

4. Not sure how this actually translate to cheaper gas for us here in Spain.

   I’m still paying way too much as a single person who takes 5min showers, but I guess the 30€ service + IVA fee is the biggest culprit of that….
