Highlights
- Spain targets a 42% share of renewables in final energy consumption in 2030. It aims to cut GHG emissions by 23% in 2030 and targets carbon neutrality by 2050.
- Iberdrola, Endesa, and Naturgy account for around half of the power generation.
- Naturgy is the largest gas supplier. Repsol and Cepsa share the oil market.
- Solar and wind capacity additions increased sharply in 2020 (+4.3 GW). CO2-free generation now accounts for 67% of the power mix.
- Household electricity prices have decreased by 10% since 2018.
- Energy consumption has been decreasing since 2017.
- The country expects to raise wind and solar capacity to 38 and 21 GW, respectively, in 2030.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO) coordinates the energy policy through the State Secretariat for Energy. It also covers the environmental and climate policy. An Inter-Ministerial Commission on Climate Change and Ecological Transition attached to MITECO was created in 2018 to coordinate decision-making related to climate change and energy.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
There are 3 large electricity companies: Iberdrola (Qatar Investment Authority 8.71%, Blackrock 5.16%, Norges Bank 3.60%), Endesa (Enel 70%), and Naturgy (former Gas Natural Fenosa, Caixa 24.8%, Rioja 20.7%, infrastructure fund GIP 20.6%, and Sonatrach 4.1%).
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production is very low (30 kt in 2020). Crude oil imports increased by 2.7%/year from 2010 to 2018 and then dipped by 8% in 2020 to 58.5 Mt. The main suppliers of crude were in 2020: Nigeria (20%), Mexico (15%), and Saudi Arabia (10%).
Energy Prices
Oil:
The prices of gasoline and diesel oil are about 10% lower than EU averages. Motor fuel prices follow global prices, increasing between 2016 and 2019 (+4%/year for gasoline and +6.2%/year for diesel) and contracting by 9% and 12% in 2020. Taxes account for 58% of the gasoline price and 52% of the diesel price (2020).

Energy Consumption
In 2020, total consumption per capita was 2.3 toe (15% lower than the EU average), including 4 800 kWh of electricity (slightly below the EU average).
Graph: CONSUMPTION TRENDS BY ENERGY SOURCE (Mtoe)
Issues & Prospects
According to the baseline scenario presented in the NECP, primary energy consumption would increase marginally (+0.2%/year) between 2015 and 2030, reaching 127 Mtoe in 2030, while final energy consumption would grow slightly faster, by 0.6%/year, to 93 Mtoe in 2030.
