For 40 years, we've been driving our country's economic and social progress. Four decades shaping Spain.
Integration of Renewables
Integration of Renewables
Our role as the system operator to maximise the integration of renewables in our country is key to advancing the ecological transition and achieving the European decarbonisation objectives.
A Country with High Renewable Potential
The secure integration of renewable energies is one of the main challenges for the operation of the electricity system we are currently facing in these times of ecological transition.
This integration entails enormous complexity for the electricity system but also great challenges that require the adoption of large-scale solutions to make the most of our country's renewable potential.

Targeted at generators, this new, more flexible mechanism aims to proactively address potential technical constraints associated with system safety criteria.
Available only in Spanish.
An Increasingly Renewable System
To accelerate the ecological transition and move towards a more sustainable future, we are making a significant effort to maximise Spain's huge renewable potential. We are installing new megawatts of generation technologies that allow us to harness the abundant sunlight and wind, producing clean electricity. Spain's weather conditions and geographical location position it as one of the countries with the highest renewable potential in Europe.
How are we adapting the system to become increasingly renewable?

Solar PV takes the lead in Spain’s installed power capacity
Renewables now account for 66% of Spain’s installed power capacity. In 2024, solar PV recorded its best year ever: it generated 44,520 GWh, representing 17% of the country’s total electricity production.
Renewable energies generated 56% of Spain's electricity mix in 2024
Renewable generation increased by almost 11% in a record-breaking year on two fronts: achieving the highest renewable electricity generation ever recorded and capturing its largest share since records began.
Energy storage as a key tool
Batteries are one of the best alternatives to store electrical energy of renewable origin so that it can be used in times of reduced natural resources.
