Spain added 1.2 GW of wind and solar capacity in the year prior to April 2025. Since April 2025, the country has added 1.3 GW of wind and solar capacity per month, according to Bluesky. Spain had just over 35 GW of solar capacity in 2021 and is now closing in on 66 GW, with more than 65 GW of solar projects greenlit since the April 2025 blackout, according to Euroweeklynews.com. Battery storage in Spain is set to quadruple in 2026, according to Bluesky. Spain’s expansion of renewables since 2022 has reduced the impact of fossil fuel price increases on households, according to the Guardian. Typical Spanish electricity bills would be 19% more expensive if electricity costs were still as tightly coupled to gas prices as in 2021, according to the Guardian. The April 2025 blackout motivated Spain to build a more resilient energy system.
