The Pueblo Verde de Almonte project in Huelva is expected to supply more than 3,500 households and businesses from 2025. With 1.45 megawatts of capacity, it is set to become the country‘s largest solar community.
The public company’s solar energy activity and electricity production grew by nearly 20 percent in the first half of the year, driven by the management of 285 photovoltaic installations.
The co-location project Gecama combines wind power, photovoltaics and large-scale battery storage, with a total capacity of 554 MW and 220 MWh.
Spain boasts industrial strength and access to cheap solar energy, yet new investment is slowing. José Donoso, CEO of solar association UNEF, outlines the challenges and potential solutions in an exclusive interview with PV Europe.
The International Electrification and Decarbonisation Week unites the Genera and Matelec trade fairs at Ifema Madrid from 18 to 20 November 2025. More than 700 companies and 50,000 industry professionals are expected to attend.
The Spanish photovoltaic association UNEF reports a slowdown in self-consumption solar installations in Q2 2025, and is urging policy measures to address growing demand from households, businesses, and industry.
The Swiss energy provider is constructing a large solar park near Madrid to meet the massive energy needs of artificial intelligence, with a design tailored to power data centres.
Spain’s storage market lost momentum in 2024, with new capacity additions falling sharply despite strong uptake alongside solar. A recent legal reform aims to revive battery deployment and speed up the energy transition.
Two out of three Spanish municipalities now offer tax reductions for installing photovoltaic self-consumption systems. The number has grown steadily in recent years as local governments move to support solar uptake.
The project, backed by a long-term PPA, sits within a wider solar cluster and is expected to be hybridised with co-located storage to support grid stability.
Spain’s updated legal framework introduces rules for energy storage and simplifies the hybridisation of batteries with existing infrastructure. According to Spanish solar association UNEF, the move is a key step towards greater overall flexibility.
Following the widespread power outage on the Iberian Peninsula, SolarPower Europe and other industry associations are urging authorities to enable photovoltaics to support voltage regulation and enhance grid stability.
Spanish Industry Minister Jordi Hereu has announced the fourth call for tenders under the PERTE programme for electric and connected vehicles. The funding totals 1.25 billion euros, of which one billion will be allocated as loans.
The Swiss investment firm has received approval for its green hydrogen project in Castellón, Spain. The 100 MW electrolyser will cut over 108,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year, supporting the decarbonisation of the region’s ceramics industry.
Using a small agri-PV system, the researchers want to measure the effect of roofing solar modules over vines in the south of Spain. The experiments involve several modules fitted with numerous monitoring sensors.
German developer ABO Energy has commissioned its first turnkey solar park in Spain – the 50 MW Valdezorita project in Castilla-La Mancha – expected to generate around 100 GWh of green electricity every year.
Electrification could save Spain €6.71 billion annually, with higher electricity demand from electric cars, heat pumps, and industrial processes.
At the campsite south of Valencia, guests enjoy solar-powered stays while feed-in tariffs boost income and lower costs – yet more proof that sustainability pays off.
The Gas market operator MIBGAS has opened the auction process for the purchase of renewable hydrogen from DH2 Energy`s solar Hysencia plant in Aragón, which has an electrolysis capacity of 35 MW. Operations are anticipated to commence in the first half of 2027.
Renewable hydrogen developer and independent producer DH2 Energy is developing four large-scale green hydrogen facilities in Spain's Extremadura region. The DH2 Energy initiatives under way in Extremadura represent a total investment of €2.25 billion.
Now a major player, Spain ranks as Europe’s second most important photovoltaic market. Learn more in this week’s country focus.
Self-consumption from photovoltaic systems is clearly lagging behind the statutory targets. This is confirmed by a recent report by APPA Renovables. According to the industry association, the regulatory authority urgently needs to take measures to promote self-consumption again.
Project developer Q Energy is planning to build three large solar power plants in Andalusia in southern Spain. The solar power can supply more than 92,000 households. In total, 62,000 tonnes of CO2 per year will be avoided in future.
The new park from Green Tie Capital features bifacial double glass modules combined with an intelligent tracking system, and is set to supply the San Juan del Puerto municipality with clean energy for decades.
The Madrid region has the highest energy consumption in Spain. So, the demand for solar power is therefore huge. Swiss project developer Edisun Power Europe is now developing three large solar parks near the capital, with almost one gigawatt of solar power.
