Hydropower generation as a proportion of total generation in ENTSO-E member states at December 31, 2022
Source: data from ENTSO-E Transparency Platform dated 26/01/2022. These data are based on the criteria of Regulation (EU) No 543/2013, encompassing units with an installed capacity equal to or greater than 1 MW and referring to the power capacity available for System Operation, and therefore differ from the data used for the specific case of Spain at the national level, which consider the total installed power capacity.
