All other renewables proceeding from very different sources and headed by biomass represented 1.1% of the installed capacity in Spain at the end of 2021

This section collects aggregate information on a group of renewable technologies of very diverse origin that together represent the 1.9% of renewable power and the 1.1% of total installed capacity in Spain at the end of 2021. It can be divided into four blocks: biomass and biogas (1,088 MW), renewable waste identified as 50% of solid urban waste (170 MW), wind-pumped hydro power, which is the plant installed on the island of El Hierro (11 MW) and hydroelectric power from the sea of 5 MW.

It should be noted that the growth of said energy aggregate has been stable for over a decade, going from 491 MW of power in 2004 to 1,274 MW in 2021.

Annual growth of the installed capacity of other renewables

Includes biogas, biomass, geothermal, marine hydroelectric, hydro-wind power and renewable waste.

By autonomous communities, Andalucía with 451 MW is clearly the one with the most installed capacity and accounts for more than 35% of all the installed capacity of this group of renewables. It is followed, in this order, by Castilla-La Mancha with 110 MW, and Castilla y León with 101 MW.

Installed capacity of other renewables as of 12.31.2021

Includes biogas, biomass, geothermal, marine hydroelectric, hydro-wind power and renewable waste.
