Compared to the rest of European countries, in 2021 Spain was seventh in terms of energy generated with this technology. However, it is still in the lower part of the ranking, sixteenth, in terms of share of hydroelectric power over total generation.
Hydroelectric power utilisation in ENTSO-E member countries as of 31.12.2021
Source: Data from ENTSO-E Transparency Platform dated 01/26/2022. These data are covered by the criteria of Regulation (EU) No. 543/2013, encompassing units with installed capacity equal to or greater than 1 MW and referring to the power available for System Operation and, therefore, differ from the data used for the case of Spain at a national level that consider the total installed capacity.
The utilization percentage is calculated as the quotient between the generation of the technology and the power at full load.
