Overview

Spain’s energy and climate policy framework sets ambitious targets, including a 48% renewable energy share in final consumption and a 32% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, alongside a 2050 carbon neutrality goal. Key measures include phasing out coal by 2026, expanding renewables, and enhancing energy storage, supported by substantial public and private investments. The electricity market is liberalised, with regulated tariffs for vulnerable consumers, while gas and coal sectors face declining demand and phased closures.

Highlights

  • Spain targets a 48% share of renewables in final energy consumption and a 32% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030.
  • The country aims for carbon neutrality in 2050.
  • Coal power generation will be phased out in 2026.
  • Iberdrola, Endesa, and Naturgy account for half of total power generation.
  • Naturgy is the largest gas supplier. Repsol and Cepsa share the oil market.
  • The share of CO2-free generation reached 75% of the power mix in 2024 (+22 points since 2010).
  • Energy prices declined in 2023 and 2024, after large increases in 2022.
  • The country expects to more than double its solar and wind capacity by 2030 (to 76 and 62 GW, respectively).
  • Many renewable hydrogen production and pipeline projects are under development.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    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

    Electricity:

    Together, the 3 largest companies accounted for 50% of Spain's total capacity and power generation in 2024.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Crude oil and NGL production is negligible. Crude oil imports increased slightly - by 3% - in 2024, reaching 63.4 Mt, returning to its historical growth from 2010 to 2018. The main suppliers of crude in 2024 were the United States (16%), Brazil (14%), Mexico (13%), and Nigeria (11%).

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Transport:

    Since 2022, motor gasoline and road diesel prices have fell respectively by -6%/year to EUR1.6/l and by 9.5%/year to EUR1.5/l. Taxes accounted for 47% of the gasoline price and 43% of the diesel price in 2024. Between 2020 and 2022, motor gasoline prices grew by 23%/year and road diesel by 30%/year.
