The fourth edition of Energyear España, the top-rated networking conference for the renewable energy industry in Spain and Europe, comes at a time when Spain has returned to the Top 10 nations for renewable investors and is the most attractive country in the world for long-term bilateral renewable power purchase and sale contracts.

The dream of turning Spain into a great global photovoltaic HUB is a reality. In addition to having sun and land, we also have companies with our own technology that are world leaders, especially in the manufacture of solar trackers, inverters and in the monitoring of currents.

The national photovoltaic generation park is on track to reach 19,000 megawatts of installed capacity and, according to data from the electricity system operator, photovoltaic generation has practically quadrupled, which will approach 28,000 gigawatt hours by 2022. For the first time, solar photovoltaic generation will be the fourth largest technology in the generation mix, accounting for 10% of total electricity generation in Spain in 2022.

The production of clean, low-cost energy through renewable plants will accelerate the integration of battery storage systems in large-scale photovoltaic plants in Spain. Storage systems will be a fundamental pillar in the energy market, allowing energy to be delivered at times beyond the production times of solar plants, which will further increase investment opportunities in our country.
