Spain’s renewables capacity to hit 218.1 GW by 2035, led by solar and wind growth, despite halted solar auctions.

Spain’s renewable energy capacity is projected to reach 218.1 GW by 2035, growing at 9.1% annually, driven by solar power expanding to 152.8 GW and onshore wind to 56.3 GW. Renewable generation is expected to rise from 131.2 TWh in 2024 to 313.6 TWh by 2035, supported by policies like the REER and Self-Consumption Law, despite suspended solar auctions. Offshore wind and green hydrogen are emerging sectors, with grid upgrades and cross-border interconnections key to overcoming challenges like curtailment and permitting delays.
