With more than 31,600 MW of installed capacity, wind energy is the primary source of electricity generation in Spain, currently covering 23% of demand. This is a significant milestone for the energy sector and reflects the country’s commitment to the transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
Wind power has become Spain's the number one technology (24.67%) regarding installed power capacity on the Spanish peninsula. Spain was the number seven in Europe in new investments with investment decisions in new onshore wind farms totalling 1.5 billion EUR (1.83 billion USD).
By then, Spain's power system is expected to operate on 100% renewable energy. The NECP 2021-2030 proposed wind capacity growth is presented in the table below. Progress and operational details Spain installed 1,720 MW of new wind power capacity in 2020.
The Spanish wind sector installed 842.61 MW during 2021 . Wind power has become in Spain the number one technology (25.7 %) regarding installed power capacity on the Spanish peninsula. Spain was the number seven in Europe in new investments with 1.5 billion EUR (1.83 billion USD) investment decisions in new onshore wind farms.
"We will strive to build the Hainan Free Trade Port into an important gateway leading China's opening up in the new era, contributing to the sustained development of the Chinese economy as well as injecting stability and certainty into the world economy," said Yuan, assistant minister of commerce. ■
"With the independent customs operations, Hainan FTP is poised to become a key gateway for China's new era of opening up and innovation," Cai added. China's Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is set to launch an island-wide independent customs operation on Dec. 18, 2025, underscoring the country's wider push for high-standard opening up.
* China's Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) will officially launch an island-wide independent customs operation on Dec. 18, 2025, which marks the anniversary of the milestone Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 1978 that ushered in the reform and opening-up, underscores China's unwavering commitment to high-standard opening-up.
The Ministry of Commerce will make more efforts to support Hainan in aligning with high-standard international economic and trade rules, enhancing institutional openness, and fostering new growth drivers through targeted measures, Jiang said.
Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024.
Compressed air energy storage may be stored in undersea caves in Northern Ireland. In order to achieve a near- thermodynamically-reversible process so that most of the energy is saved in the system and can be retrieved, and losses are kept negligible, a near-reversible isothermal process or an isentropic process is desired.
New compressed air energy storage concept improves the profitability of existing simple cycle, combined cycle, wind energy, and landfill gas power plants.

A study numerically simulated an adiabatic compressed air energy storage system using packed bed thermal energy storage. The efficiency of the simulated system under continuous operation was calculated to be between 70.5% and 71%.
