What is the future of solar energy in Spain?

The leading annual capacity additions and significant investments in solar PV are solidifying Spain's position as a major player in the global solar market. While challenges exist, the future of solar energy in Spain is bright, promising substantial growth and a pivotal role in the nation's energy transition.

How much does solar PV cost?

By technology, 2,036MW were awarded in solar photovoltaic (1,000 MW are part of the offer in which there was no technology restriction) and 998 MW in wind. As for the prices achieved, according to Government data, the weighted average price was 24.47 €/MWh for solar PV and 25.31 €/MWh for wind.

Does Spain have a commitment to solar energy?

Despite competition from other renewable sources and challenges related to grid infrastructure and storage, Spain remains steadfast in its commitment to solar energy, demonstrated by its ambitious National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), targeting a 42% renewable share by 2030.

How much does a solar PPA cost?

Unsurprisingly, there are significant price differences between different countries for solar energy. In Spain, the break-even price for a solar PPA is only €38/MWh, while in Finland it is significantly higher at €115/MWh - not least due to the considerable differences in solar irradiation.

Are solar capture prices below forecast break-even costs in 2024?

For solar, the capture prices in 2024 were: This means that the capture prices for France and Germany are already below the forecast break-even costs for 2026-2035 in 2024. A clear indication of the challenge for solar PPA projects in these countries.

How is Spain adapting to new solar regulations?

Spain's solar energy sector is adapting to new regulations designed to streamline project development and boost solar power adoption. A revised policy has replaced the former Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme in Spain, creating a transition period for solar producers.
