The rate of installation of new self-consumption PV systems in Spain fell slightly last year, according to data from trade body the Spanish Photovoltaic Union (UNEF).

Spain has amended its national common agricultural policy (PAC) framework to include agrivoltaic (agriPV) systems to be eligible for subsidies.

The Spanish Congress of Deputies has toppled the royal decree-law aimed at reforming the grid after the 28 April blackout, which affected the Iberian Peninsula.

Spain installed 3.7GW of new ground-mounted solar PV capacity in 2022, according to a report from trade association the Spanish Photovoltaic Union (UNEF).

Spain has deployed 2.5GW of self-consumption in 2022, almost half of its total installed capacity, according to data from the Spanish trade association UNEF.

Spanish solar players give their verdict on this week’s renewables auction, which was shunned by PV project developers.

Spain is on track to install more than 4GW of utility-scale solar in 2022, a 25% increase on last year’s figures, according to José Donoso, head of the country’s PV association, UNEF.

Concerns have been raised that new measures introduced by Spain’s government to limit windfall profits of renewable energy plants could dent investor confidence and impact the stability of the country’s solar sector.

Spain will carry out an auction this October for 3.3GW of solar PV and wind capacity as the country’s government aims to speed up renewables deployment in the face of soaring electricity bills.
