MAIN FIGURES

In 2013, renewable energies were the third source of primary energy consumption in Spain at 14.2%.In 2013, renewable energies represented 15.9% of total final energy consumption in Spain, a 1.5% increase on the 14.4% rate achieved in 2012.As for gross final consumption of energy —which is the benchmark for meeting the 20% target by 2020—, in 2013 the rate achieved was 16.6%, a 0.1% reduction compared to the 16.7% rate achieved in 2012.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

NEW SPANISH GOVERNEMENT HAS BREAKRUPT THE RE POLICY IN LAST 3 YEARS BUT SPAIN STILL REMAINS AS ONE OF THE EUROPEAN RE LEADERS

Constant improvisation has led to continuous regulatory changes, a situation that does not allow operations within the predictable,certain framework with a broad consensus that would be desirable for thesector. Another significant consequence has been the creation of an accumulated tariff deficit that has become a national problem and the most urgent issue to be solved by the current Government. Thus, the entire reform of the electricity sector has revolved around a solution for this deficit, without even considering the long announced reform of the electricity market, producing simply a set of merely fiscal and fundraising and, in some cases, confiscatory measures that have been particularly discriminatory against renewable energies.

MAIN FIGURES

ELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONWind power covered 20.9% of demand andbecame the first source of electricity production,something up to now unheardof both in Spain and worldwide

MAIN FIGURES

INSTALLED CAPACITYIn terms of installed capacity the total capacity fromrenewable energies was 32,612 MW.Wind power represented 69.9% followed by photovoltaic solar power with (14.2%), thermal solar power(7.1%), small-scale hydropower (6.3%) and biomass (2.6%)

EMPLOYMENTIn 2013 the sector employed directly 50,913people, a 6.5% reduction compared to 2012, and lost 3,351 direct employments.

2020 OBJECTIVES

2020 OBJECTIVES

In 2010 Spain submitted to EU the National Action Plan for Renewable Energies (NREAP). The Plan initially set a target of a 22.7%share of final gross energy consumption from renewable sources, compared with the 20% target set in the Directive.
