Highlights

  • Spain targets a 48% share of renewables in final energy consumption and a 32% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030. It aims at carbon neutrality in 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.
  • The share of CO2-free generation has increased by 17 points since 2010 and accounted for 68% of the power mix in 2022.
  • Spain has introduced a large set of measures to limit the impact of surging wholesale prices on consumers in 2021 and 2022, with prices finally declining in 2023.
  • Energy consumption remained stable in 2022, after a recovery of almost 6% in 2021.
  • The country expects to raise solar and wind capacity to 76 GW and 62 GW, respectively, in 2030.
  • Many renewable hydrogen production and pipeline projects are under development.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographical Challenge (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

    Oil:

    Repsol is the national oil company (BlackRock 5.47%, Norges Bank 5.42%). In 2019, Repsol committed to reduce its carbon intensity by 15% in 2025 (compared to 2016, achieving a total reduction of 1.5 Mt of CO2eq), by 28% in 2030, and by 55% in 2040; reaching net zero CO2 emissions in 2050.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Spain has limited oil reserves (20 Mt) and no gas reserves (3.2 bcm) (end of 2022). Shale gas reserves have been estimated at about 1 339 bcm, which would represent at least 39 years of domestic gas demand. This estimate is not associated with any geological formation but is extrapolated from the US shale gas resource characteristics of Spanish geological basins.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    Industrial gas prices decreased by 32% in 2023 after a 39% rise in 2021 and a dramatic 210% increase in 2022. Previously, they had remained broadly stable between 2016 and 2020, at around €2.5c/kWh.

  • Energy Consumption

    In 2022, total consumption per capita was 2.4 toe (around 18% lower than the EU average for 2022), including 4 900 kWh of electricity (around 12% under the EU average).

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the baseline scenario presented in the draft updated NECP, final energy consumption should reach 70 Mtoe in 2030.
