Spain

• Member of OPEC countries• Focus on renewables especially solar in past

few years to reduce CO2.• Biggest solar thermal collector (Heliostat) at

Sevilla• We have constructed energy balance for base

year 2009.

Energy Resource Position of Spain

Growth Trends of Primary Energy Sources

As one can see, Spain has actually managed to reduce its electricity consumption, leading to a decrease in production.Losses have also been substantially reduced, by more than 50%.

The share of renewable energy has increased steadily every year.

The above pictures give a comparison of the Hydro and Nuclear power scenarios in Spain

Installed capacity and production of Solar energy has increased radically since 2005. Spain has a pioneer for the installation of Solar power and projects like the Solar Heliostat in Sevilla is an example of it.
