Wind Power in Spain – Opportunities, Challenges and a Path to a 100% Renewable Energy Future | with Mercedes Casado, RWE, and Stefan Gsänger
Spain has played a key role in the development of modern wind power, as one of the world's largest wind power markets and by contributing to the development of modern wind technology. The country has an abundance of wind resources which, together with solar and other renewables, can provide more energy than Spain needs to meet its domestic demand.
Today, with 31 Gigawatt of installed wind capacity, the country ranks fifth in terms of total installations. With a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 at the latest, Spain offers a bright future for wind energy investment.
Mercedes Casado is Head of Onshore Wind and PV Development at RWE Spain and works with the Spanish Renewable Energy Association APPA to improve the regulatory environment in Spain. She explains the current opportunities and challenges: In particular, smart integration of wind power, smooth permitting processes and good community engagement can pave the way for future growth.
