The rest of renewables, with very diverse origins, but headed by biomass, represented 1.1 % of installed power capacity in Spain by the end of 2022

This section contains aggregated information on a group of renewable technologies of very diverse origin, which together represent 1.8 % of renewable power capacity and 1.1 % of total installed power capacity in Spain at the end of 2022. Four blocks can be distinguished: biomass and biogas (1,088 MW), renewable waste identified as 50 % of solid urban waste (170 MW), hydro-wind, which is the power station installed on the island of El Hierro (11 MW), and marine hydro (5 MW).

It should be noted that the evolution of this energy mix has been constant since 2004, rising from 491 MW of power to 1,275 MW in 2022, although there has been practically no increase in 2021 and 2022.

By autonomous communities, Andalusia with 451 MW, is clearly the region with the most installed capacity, accounting for over 35 % of all installed power capacity in this group of renewables. It is followed by Castile-La Mancha, with 110 MW, and Castile and Leon, with 101 MW.
