Spain’s fleet of seven commercial nuclear power plants generated just over 52 TWh net of electricity in 2024, accounting for 19.57% of the country’s total net electricity production, Madrid-based nuclear industry group Foro Nuclear said.

The figure was down from 57.2 TWh in 2023. However, with a net installed capacity of 7,117 MW – significantly less than another other energy source and accounting for only 5.44% of the total – nuclear energy ranked as the second-largest source of electricity production in Spain, according to provisional data from Red Eléctrica analysed by Foro Nuclear.

Wind was first in terms of generation, accounting for 22.89% of production, but with a 24% share of installed capacity.
