The spanish Government approves PNIEC update with new targets for 2030

The Council of Ministers has approved the update of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC, in spanish), which sets more ambitious goals for sustainability and energy independence by 2030. According to the new plan, Spain aims to achieve 50% energy autonomy by the end of the decade, thus reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and enhancing renewable energy sources.
Among the most significant changes, the PNIEC plans to increase the share of renewables in final energy consumption to 48%. Additionally, efforts to electrify key sectors such as transport and industry are being intensified, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 32% compared to 1990 levels.
The revised PNIEC also highlights the importance of accelerating the deployment of renewables in the electricity system, with a target to generate 81% of electricity from clean sources by 2030. This will be accompanied by significant investments in energy storage infrastructures and power grids. The following table summarises the proposed changes for each generation technology:

This updated plan reinforces Spain’s commitment to the European Union’s climate goals and represents a strong step towards the energy transition and the decarbonisation of the national economy.
At SÓLIDA, we are committed to Spain’s decarbonisation, where we already have over 45 GW of experience in renewable energy projects and their evacuation infrastructure. Our work is aligned with the PNIEC’s objectives, supporting the development of critical infrastructure that will facilitate the country’s energy transition.
