Solar thermal wind power generation in Spain

Solar thermal power plant

Solar thermal power plants are electricity generation plants that utilize energy from the Sun to heat a fluid to a high temperature.This fluid then transfers its heat to water, which then becomes superheated steam.This steam is then used to

In 2014 Spain was the world''s fourth biggest producer of wind power. In that year, the year-end installed capacity was 23 GW and the annual production was 51,439 GWh, a share of total electricity consumption of 21.1%. Installed capacity grew from around 0.8GW in 1998 to approximately 23 GW by 2012. As can be seen from the graph, virtually no new wind power has been installed from 2012 to 2017.

Through a ministerial ruling in March 2004, the Spanish government removed economic barriers to the connection of renewable energy technologies to the electricity grid. The Royal Decree 436/2004 equalised conditions for large-scale solar thermal and photovoltaic plants and guaranteed feed-in tariffs. Spain added a record 2.6 GW of solar photovoltaic power in 2008, a figure al
