In 2022, solar power accounted for 11.5% of total electricity generation in Spain, up from 2.4% in 2010 and less than 0.1% in 2000. [4] [5] Industry organization Solar Power Europe projects Spain will more than double its solar PV capacity between 2022 and 2026. [6] [7] Spain is one of the European countries with the most hours of sunshine.
In order to meet Spain's overall target for 20% use of renewable energy (it was just 8.3% in 2005) in gross final energy consumption (20,505 ktoe) by 2020 targets have been set for each sector as follows: 17.3% renewable energy use in the heating and cooling sector, 39% in the electricity sector and 11.3% in the transport sector.

The country is attempting to use wind power to supply 40 percent of its electricity consumption by 2020. [13] At the same time, Spain is also developing other renewable sources of energy, particularly solar photovoltaic. Renewable based power in Spain reached 46.7% of total power consumption in 2021.

Total solar power in Spain reached nearly 7 GW by the end of 2016 including both installed PV and CSP. [99] Nearly 8 TWh of electricity was generated from photovoltaics, and 5 TWh from CSP plants in 2016. [100] Solar PV accounted for nearly 3% of total electricity generation in 2016 along with an additional of 1.9% from solar thermal. [101]
