2. List of countries by energy consumption per capita

This is a list of countries by total energy consumption per capita, as published by the World Resources Institute for the year 2003. The data is given in kilogrammes of oil equivalent per year, and gigajoules per year, and in watts, as average equivalent power.

The IEA/OECD define one toe to be equal to 41.868 GJ or 11.63 MWh. Some organisations use other definitions of toe, for example:

• 1 toe = 42 GJ

• 1 toe = 41,85 GJ

3. List of countries by electricity consumption

 

This list of countries by electricity consumption is mostly based on The World Factbook. For informational purposes several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list. In addition, the per capita data for many countries may be slightly inaccurate as population data may not be for the same year that the consumption data are. Population data were obtained from the List of countries by population in 2005, except for years other than 2005, in which case they were obtained from the Wikipedia pages for the corresponding countries/territories. Average power per capita was calculated according to the formula:

Power = Consumption·1,000,000/(365.25·24)/population, where Power is in Watts and Consumption is in MWh/year.

4. Renewable energy in Spain

 

“Spain has the target of generating 30% of its electricity needs from renewable energy sources by 2010, with half of that amount coming from wind power. In 2006, 20% of the total electricity demand was already produced with renewable energy sources, and in January 2009 the total electricity demand produced with renewable energy sources reached the 34.8%.

Some autonomous regions in Spain lead Europe in the use of renewable energy technology, and plan to reach 100% renewable energy generation in a few years (objetive "all electricity from renewable sources, AERS). Castile and León and Galicia are especially near this goal, producing in 2006 70% of their total electricity demand from renewable energy sources, and 5 communities produce more than 50% from renewables.

Spain is the world's third biggest producer of wind power, after the United States and Germany, with an installed capacity of 16,740 megawatts (MW) at the end of 2008, a rise of 1,609 MW for the year. More than 11% of Spain's electricity came from wind power in 2008. The largest producer of wind power in Spain is Iberdrola, with 27 percent of capacity, followed by Acciona on 16 percent and Endesa with 10 percent.

In 2005 Spain became the first country in the world to require the installation of photovoltaic electricity generation in new buildings, and the second in the world (after Israel) to require the installation of solar hot water systems. Spain was also the first country to ever have a solar energy power tower, located near Seville”

5.  Wind power in Spain

 

“Spain is the world's fourth biggest producer of wind power, after the United States and Germany,China with an installed capacity of 16 740 megawatts (MW) at the end of 2008, a rise of 1 609 MW for the year. More than 11% of Spain's electricity came from wind power in 2008.

 The largest producer of wind power in Spain is Iberdrola, with 27 percent of capacity, followed by Acciona on 16 percent and Endesa with 10 percent. Steady growth in capacity is expected in 2009, despite the credit crunch, due to long-term investments. Spain's wind farms are on track to meet a government target of 20 000 MW in capacity by 2010.

 On particular windy days, wind power generation has surpassed all other electricity sources in Spain, including nuclear. On November 8th 2009 wind power production reached its all-time maximum of 11,564 MW; a few hours earlier it had reached the highest percentage of electricity production, with wind farms covering 53% of the total demand.

Wind power is an important energy source in Spain because the Spanish government has sanctioned a green energy approach to guarantee an increase in the country’s wind generation capacity, with aspirations to install a total of 20.1 GW of wind power by 2010. The approaches of energy deregulation that have been initiated in Spain recently are generating noteworthy developments within the energy sector. Multilateral cooperation for involvement in wind power production throughout Europe has created investment prospects for the industry and lower energy costs due to the efficiency of the renewable energy source and its domestic availability.

An increase in installed wind power capacity in recent years in Spain is shown in the Table below.”

 

 The intended wind energy capacity to be installed in the autonomous regions by 2010-2011 consists of 20 000 MW

7.   Primary energy consumption in Spain.

 

The consumption of primary energy in Spain in 2008 was 142,070 Ktep (see box), 3,1% less than in 2007. This rate had never been registered since homogeneous methodology was applied to calculate the balance in 1973. This demand is obtained by adding both the consumption in all areas (including that used to generate electricity) and the loss to the final non-electrical energy consumption.

 

 

 

 

 

Apart from the decrease of final energy, the change in the structure of electricity generation in recent years has been outstanding in the decline in 2008. Particularly in 2008, the increase in  wind power production, solar and combined cycle gas has partly made up for the decrease in hydroelectric generation.

 

The total demand for natural gas was 34,783 Ktep, with a 10.1% increase over 2007, representing 24.5% of the total energy consumption. The increase of its use in electricity generation from new plants of combined cycle and cogeneration should be emphasized. That year, the amount of gas consumed in power generation was similar to that of end uses

 

Renewable energy, excluding hydro, contribute to the total balance with 8,841 ktoe,  6.2% of the total, with a growth in the year of 16%. This consumption corresponds to end direct use, especially biomass, as well as consumption in electricity generation from wind, biomass, solar, etc.
