Wind turbines can provide energy Spain 100%

The lack of rich natural resources is forcing Spain to seek alternative ways of energy production. Wind turbines provide a country up to 70% of the required electricity, and that the Spaniards do not intend to stay. But despite the new records, electric bills every year is only growing. In the night time in November last year, wind turbines produced 70% of the required electric power. In January 2015, was was daily record — 54% of electricity came from wind sources.





One of the largest Spanish operators of wind energy Acciona manages 9500 wind turbines around the world. The company believes that Spain produces enough wind energy to provide daily she's 29 million homes.

Every day wind turbines produce 37% of all electricity in the country. The head of the control center in Acciona Pamplona Miguel Espelette believes that soon the country will achieve 100%.

The European Union has set Spain's benchmark — by 2020, 20% of all energy, including electricity, transportation needs, cooling and heating should come from renewable sources. At the moment the country came to a standstill at the rate of 17.4%.

Spain can boast of rich resources. Gas, oil and coal are mostly imported from other countries. The main core of the Spanish energy are nuclear power plants — they provide for 20.9% of electricity. Natural gas and coal produced by 15%.

Despite the proliferation of wind energy, the price of ale chicheste the country's steadily rising. In 2006 they jumped by 60%. Since the wind can behave unpredictably, as a fallback option the country has to use other sources, including nuclear power plants, the content of which is expensive.





These features are unlikely to affect the overall development of wind energy. According to forecasts by the world wind energy Council (GWEC), the wind turbines will provide 20% of world electricity by 2030. According to market research company MAKE Consulting, over the next 10 years, the volume generated in Europe, wind power will increase to 140 GW. 60% of the capacity to host the countries of Northern Europe, 28% — southern Europe, while Eastern Europe will remain 12%.

An example of the successful development of clean energy shows Scotland. On average, the country receives 60% of energy from renewable sources, but in August, the wind turbines produced a record 106% of the electricity needed in the country. published
