Spain leads Europe in solar capacity but faces challenges in meeting wind energy goals 

Recent research by Global Energy Monitor shows Spain has more utility-scale solar capacity in operation (29.5 GW) than any other European nation. However, it risks missing its 2030 wind energy target. 

Spain aims to install 62 GW of wind power and 81 GW of solar power by 2030. To attain this goal, Spain will need to hasten its pace of renewables deployment and overcome obstacles: permitting bottlenecks, anemic growth in rooftop solar, and infrastructure limitations that impede demand.
