Spain Energy Information

Spain Energy Research

- Spain's Energy & Climate Policy Framework: Spain targets 48% renewables by 2030, phasing out coal by 2026, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050.

- Spain's Energy Companies: Iberdrola, Endesa, and Naturgy dominate Spain’s energy sector, controlling 50% of power generation and 43% of gas supply. Naturgy leads gas, while Repsol and Moeve share oil.

- Spain's Energy Supply & Demand: Spain’s energy mix shifted to 73% CO₂-free power in 2025, with solar and wind rising significantly. Oil remains the top primary energy source, though its share declined.

- Spain's Energy Use & Price by Sector: Spain’s final energy consumption stable at 83 Mtoe since 2021; prices remain above pre-crisis levels.

- Spain's Issues & Prospects: Spain targets 160 GW renewable capacity by 2030, with 81% of electricity from renewables, alongside significant green hydrogen and storage expansion.

Spain Total Energy Production & Consumption

Spain's total primary consumption fell by 1% on average per year between 2010 and 2025, reaching about 114 Mtoe in 2025 (+1% in 2025, as in 2024). In 2025, oil covered 44% of primary consumption (-2 pp since 2010), followed by primary electricity (mainly nuclear, solar and wind) at 24% (+5 pp thanks to solar and wind), gas (23%, -2 pp), biomass (7%, +2 pp), and coal (2%, -4 pp).

Spain Oil Production & Consumption

Spain's crude oil production is very limited (around 1 kt in 2025) and most of its crude oil consumption, which dipped by 3.7% to 63 Mt in 2025, comes from imports. Previously, crude oil consumption had been increasing regularly (+2%/year over 2010-2019, before a 15% fall in 2020 and a 2%/year rebound since then). Imports have followed the same trend (+2%/year since 2020, despite a 3% drop in 2025), reaching 65 Mt in 2025. The main suppliers of crude in 2025 were the United States (15%), Brazil (14%), Mexico (12%), and Nigeria (10%).

Spain Natural Gas Production & Consumption

The country's gas production is very limited (around 80 mcm in 2025).

The country's gas network is growing steadily and, in 2025, reached 96 141 km (compared to 37 000 km in 2000). The number of clients has increased from 4.2 m in 2000 to 8 m in 2025 with over 1 800 cities connected to the gas network.

Gas imports increased by 10% in 2025 to 33 bcm, 67% of which as LNG (+21%); they mainly came from Algeria (35%), the United States (30%), Russia (11%), and Nigeria (7%).

Spain Coal and Lignite Production & Consumption

Spain stopped producing bituminous and brown coal in 2019. After a peak of 40 Mt between 1982 and 1985, production fell by about -12%/year between 2000 and 2018 to around 2 Mt.

Coal imports decreased by 17% in 2025 to less than 4 Mt (-8%/year over 2010-25), while consumption has also seen a steady decrease since 2010 (-10%/year), reaching 3 Mt in 2025. The power sector represents the largest coal and lignite user, with 23% in 2025 (-54 pp since 2010), followed by industry (17%) and the residential and services sector (1%).

Spain Renewable in % Electricity Production

Under the NECP 2023-2030, Spain will increase the share of renewables to 48% of final energy consumption, of which 81% is for power (up from 74%) and 28% for transport (up from 25%). In 2024, renewables covered 25.4% of the final consumption (59.7% for electricity, 21.6% for heating and cooling, and 11.3% in transport).

Spain GHG emissions and CO₂ emissions

According to the NECP 2023-2030, Spain aims to reduce its GHG gas emissions by 32% in 2030 compared to 1990 levels (70% emission reduction in ETS sectors and 43% in other sectors); in 2023, they were 13% below 1990 levels and 44% below 2005.

In 2021, the Parliament approved the Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition, which aims for carbon neutrality by 2050.
