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
The pool price fell to exactly € 0/MWh between and , only to rise to € 173/MWh at . The average price was € 42/MWh. The „duck curve” - in the Spanish „pato” - clearly shows the influence of solar power generation in Spain, while the influence of more expensive generation methods can
For instance, the renewable auctions planned by the Spanish government will award at least 2.9 gigawatts of renewable energy per year to interested parties until . It is estimated that by , the total renewable capacity will amount to roughly 160 gigawatts. In , the total consumption of
Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems. The goal is to improve how Spain uses renewable energy
Thanks to publicly available data from the national grid and market operators, respectively Red Eléctrica de España (REE) and OMIE, we were able to calculate the average captured price for both technologies in each AC over the - period, based on hourly day-ahead wholesale market prices**.
