Renewable energy in Spain, comprising bioenergy, wind, solar, and hydro sources, accounted for 15.0% of the Total Energy Supply (TES) in 2019. Oil was the largest contributor at 42.4% of the TES, followed by gas, which made up 25.4%.[4][5]

Spain, along with other European Union (EU) States, has a target of generating 32% of all its energy needs from renewable energy sources by 2030.[6] A previous target of 20% for 2020,[7] with an additional 0.8% available for other EU countries under the cooperation mechanism, was reached and slightly surpassed.[8][9][10]

In 2021, renewables generated 46.7% of Spain's electricity needs, the largest part of it from wind power (23.3%), followed by hydroelectric (11.4%), solar (9.9%), and other renewables (2.2%).[11][12] In 2023, the share of electricity generated from renewable sources rose to 50.8%, reflecting the country's progress towards its decarbonisation goals.[13]
