Spain exceeded expections by awarding 5.04GW of capacity in the government’s latest renewable energy auction, with solar power producers being by far the biggest winners with 3.91GW awarded and wind getting 1.13GW.
In a statement the Energy Ministry said the tender had distributed contracts to 40 different companies which would “allow Spain to move definitively in compliance with its target of meeting 20% of energy used from renewables by 2020”.
