Spanish leaders have set a goal to reduce carbon emissions by 2050.
As part of their commitment, the country will need to advance their renewable energies – this will also boost job availability and economic growth for the country.
For Hive Energy, the Spanish green energy revolution has played a key role in our development. Spain is a perfect location for solar projects due to the positive, proactive acceptance of the government and the ideal weather conditions. So far, we have over 1 GW of completed solar projects in Spain, with almost 3 GW more in our pipeline.
In order for Spain to reach their green energy goals, the plan is to increase renewable energy generation capacity by at least 3 GW a year. They will be investing in Photovoltaic energy (PV), wind power, and green hydrogen. Spain is already at the forefront of renewable energy leadership. In 2020 Spain was already running on almost 50% renewable energy. The country was also placed 10th in the world on the RECAI index, which ranks countries based on their renewable energy investment and deployment opportunities.
Spain is already making positive steps forward in line with its goals. The Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition has two proposed phases.
