In September 2002, Spain was the first European country to introduce a "feed-in tariff" funding system for solar thermal power. This funding system granted a premium on top of the electricity pool price of 12 € cents for
Spain''s solar energy sector has surged to 22.45 GW of capacity by early 2023, with ground-mounted solar farms driving 77% of new installations. This report delves into the
High gas prices (a technology that tends to set market prices) have accelerated the installation of photovoltaic systems that provide price stability and reinforce energy sovereignty.
The cost of solar photovoltaic systems has decreased dramatically over the past decade. Market prices of PV modules have decreased by about 95% in real terms from

This study aims to estimate the performance and losses of a 50 MW photovoltaic (PV) utility-scale after 12 years of operation. The PV plant has monocrystalline and
This is an executive summary of materials prepared by Solarplaza International BV, in conjunction with their upcoming Solarplaza Summit Spain, which represents an overview of the Spanish Solar
This is an extract from a recent report "National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in SPAIN 2023" by IEA. The targets for photovoltaic (PV) energy in Spain are outlined in the "Integrated National Energy and
The average price awarded in PV was 53.87 €/MWh, significantly higher than that of the two previous auctions, due to the evolution and prospects of electricity market prices and electricity
•Dominance of Grid-Connected PV: The importance of grid-connected PV in Spain is significantly greater than that of self-consumption PV. This is reflected in the higher installed capacity in
This data tool compares European electricity prices, carbon prices and the cost of generating electricity using fossil fuels and renewables. Where possible, data is provided by country.
Spain''s solar energy market is projected to double its installed capacity to 72.32 GW by 2029, driven by government incentives and falling PV installation costs, creating ample
This report delves into the policies, technological advances, and market forces shaping Spain''s rise as Europe''s second-largest solar market. It also highlights the challenges
Spain’s battery storage market is dominated by customer-sited systems. Utility-scale storage remains nascent. Currently, Spain’s storage market is mainly composed of small-scale batteries co-located with solar PV. Spain’s household electricity prices now stand at over EUR 0.30/kWh on average.
Spain’s household electricity prices now stand at over EUR 0.30/kWh on average. In addition, Spain’s reliance on fossil gas has increased price volatility in recent years.16,17,18,19 This variability, combined with Spain’s excellent solar resources, make the economics of combining solar with storage increasingly favorable.
This variability, combined with Spain’s excellent solar resources, make the economics of combining solar with storage increasingly favorable. The market for utility-scale batteries has been almost non-existent until recently as the market has lacked a clear policy and regulatory framework.
Spain's solar PV industry has undergone a significant transformation, particularly in the industrial sector, highlighting the growing trend towards self-consumption for energy cost reduction and sustainability.
Although wind is currently the most used renewable resource in the Mediterranean country, solar energy is growing at a very fast pace. In fact, the solar capacity installed has more than quintupled in the last five years. In 2023, Spain was the sixth country worldwide in terms of new capacity additions.
So in Spain, more than anywhere else in Europe, renewable project revenues no longer depend exclusively on the produced volumes of electricity, but also on how these volumes are liquidated on power markets. No wonder long-term trends regarding market prices are considered a major concern and subject to many dedicated forecasting services in Iberia.
