Data from Spanish grid operator Red Eléctrica show that renewables accounted for 64.6% of the nation’s energy mix in April 2024 but grid congestion and price “cannibalization” are starting to ring alarm bells. Aurora Energy Research estimates that 1 TWh of curtailed clean energy was not compensated in 2023 – 1.2% of the total generated – at a cost of €2.1 billion ($2.3 billion) to consumers.
Grid access for more than 50 GW of renewables has been granted in Spain, for connection in the next three years.
