Renewables generated 13,524 GWh of Spain’s electricity in January, a 12% increase year-on-year, representing 55.8% of total generation in the country, according to preliminary figures released by Spanish grid operator Red Electrica de Espana (REE).
The renewables share a month earlier was 47.6%.
Wind power led the generation mix in January with a 30.9% share, followed by nuclear (21.5%), combined cycle gas turbines (13.8%), and hydro (13.3%). Solar photovoltaic power generation grew by 18.6%, reaching a 9.5% share of the mix.
Additionally, 444 GWh of electricity was stored in energy storage systems, and 1,120 GWh was exported to neighbouring countries.
As much as 77.2% of all electricity in January was produced from emission-free sources, REE said.
