IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FACTS
Spain has a high hydroelectric potential, developed over more than a century. As a consequence, it has an important and consolidated highly efficient hydroelectric generation system.
Within the renewable energies that are exploited in our country, hydroelectric energy is the most consolidated and mature technology, thanks to the use of the orography and the existence of a large number of dams
Castilla y León is the one with the highest production, 26% of all Spain. Galicia follows, with 22%. In fact, there are five communities that account for 80% of the hydraulic energy in Spain: Castilla y León, Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia and Extremadura.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FACTS
Wind energy in Spain is the generation technology with the most installed power.
Wind energy is that produced by the force of the wind. It is a type of renewable energy, whose source is the inexhaustible force of the wind. In Spain we can find large wind power generation parks as is happening with other renewable energies such as: solar thermal or biomass.
Wind energy is present in practically all the autonomous communities, except Madrid, Ceuta and Melilla. During 2019, the autonomous communities that installed the most wind power were Aragón followed by Castilla y León and Galicia
