List of 5 large renewable energy developers in Spain
The strong sun in Spain does not only attract tourists, but also developers of renewable energy. Due to the many hours of sunshine per day and the long summer season, the conditions for photovoltaic solar farms are very suitable. For this reason, many renewable energy developers are based on the Spanish mainland and expedite from there the amelioration of the technology implementation of renewable energy projects. Based on the pioneer role of Spanish developers, five developers will be introduced in the following.
1. Iberdrola (Bilbao)
Iberdrola is a global leader in renewable energy, with over 43,000 MW of renewable capacity by mid-2024. The company plans to invest €15.5 billion by 2026, focusing on offshore wind, onshore wind, and solar projects. Iberdrola is also advancing green hydrogen technologies and large-scale renewable initiatives such as the East Anglia Hub and Tâmega hydroelectric project. This investment supports its commitment to the energy transition and a low-emissions economy.
2. EDP Renewables (Madrid)
As third-largest wind energy producer worldwide, the Madrid based developer is an expert in realizing onshore and offshore wind parks. In order to drive the energy transition further forward, EDP Renewables is also developing solar farms while continuously striving to become a global leader in the field of renewable energy generation. The stock-listed company stands for innovation, sustainability and humanization while seeking for further growth and operational excellence. EDP has added over 1 GW installed capacity in solar energy projects alone in 2022 to their portfolio, leading to nearly 15 GW of total installed capacity.
Update 2024: EDP Renovaveis SA has won a 20 year contract-for-difference (CfD) for 100 MW of wind power in an auction in Italy. The CfDs concern three onshore wind projects located in the south of the country. The three wind parks are expected to become operational by 2026.
3. Repsol (Madrid)
The Spanish energy provider with more than 25.000 employees accepted their responsibility in the context of the energy transition by refocusing their strategy and expanding to the field of renewable energy generation. Thus, Repsol shares to overall goal of a sustainable future by aiming the net zero emission status within the next 30 years. Based on this commitment, the Madrid based developer switched to innovative solutions and focuses on applied research for new technologies.
4. Matrix Renewables (Madrid)
The Madrileño-based solar developer has developed 1.8GW of solar energy in Spain, the US, and Chile, with a future 2.3GW pipeline. The US company initially began developing Spanish solar energy in 2020 thanks to acquisitions from Trina Solar and Rolwind. Since then, Matrix Renewables have built a 975MW portfolio in the space of just 18 months. The Madrid-based group aim to expand on this portfolio and in January 2022, announced the development of two new solar projects with a future 300MW capacity.
Update 2024: Matrix Renewables has begun commercial operations of three solar plants in Spain. They have a combined capacity of 129MW.
5. Prodiel (Seville)
The Seville-based group were founded in 1994 and to date have developed 2.1GW of solar energy. Prodiel are responsible for the development of one of the largest solar parks in the Iberian Peninsula. The 300MW site was developed in 2020 and is comprised of 554,000 solar modules. In April 2022, the group announced a new joint venture with Swiss investment group, Smartenergy. The new partnership named Greenfield PV will develop 5GW of Spanish solar and the team consists of 50 specialists in solar development.
Developers for Renewable energy in Spain
Solar and wind energy are just two of renewable energy sources necessary to combat climate change. Also because of the steadily increasing demand for electricity, which will continue to rise due to new technologies such as electronic-cars, the renewable energy market is therefore a very promising one for the future. Especially the sunny and windy country of Spain offers many opportunities for the integration of green energies into the power grid – accordingly, there is a large number of project developers who design and plan these projects. Our list enables landowners, investors and other companies to find suitable partners. In order to compile our list, our team screens renewable energy deals in Europe and in Spain and analyzes the involved parties. In case we missed a relevant renewable energy developer, you can submit a new listing here. In case we made an error on a certain firm – for instance not mentioning an asset – you can always report an error on the respective page. Through crowdsourcing, we consequently improve our list.
