Installed capacity

Wind energy, the main renewable source in Spain, is the technology with the largest share in the national installed capacity structure (24.6 %).

Wind represents the main source of renewable generation in Spain, with an installed capacity of 30,748 MW, which has been increased during 2023 by 2 % compared to 2022; this implies 590.2 MW more installed throughout the Spanish territory. At 31 December 2023, wind power accounts for a quarter of the national installed capacity, remaining the technology with the largest share in the installed capacity structure.

Annual evolution of installed wind power capacity

By autonomous community, Castile and Leon continues to be the leader in installed wind capacity with a total of 6,622 MW, representing 21.6 % of the total national installed wind capacity. Aragon is in second place with 5,230 MW, 17 % of the total. Aragon was the autonomous community that experienced the greatest increase in installed wind capacity in 2023, with 194 MW more than the previous year.

Wind power is the leading technology in the installed capacity structure of five autonomous communities, starting with Castile and Leon, where it accounted for 48.8 %, Navarre with 45.2 %, Aragon with 45.0 %, and Galicia with 35.5 %. These communities account for 56.1 % of all installed wind power in Spain.
