Renewable energies
Generating electricity from renewable sources is one of the pillars of the energy transition. Integrating renewable projects into their surroundings is key to driving economic development and creating shared value with local communities.
86
% of peninsular electricity generation to be emissions-free by the end of 2024
11.3
GW of installed renewable capacity

SDG 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Generating electricity from renewable sources is one of the pillars of the energy transition and one of our core commitments to advancing towards a sustainable energy model.
Through our renewable energy subsidiary, Enel Green Power España (EGPE), we currently manage 11.3 GW of installed renewable capacity in Spain.
In our 2026–2028 Strategic Plan, we have strengthened our commitment to clean energy as a key driver of decarbonisation. Up to 1.9GW of new capacity will be added during this period, bringing the total installed renewable capacity to 13.2 GW by 2028.
Additionally, our focus on repowering, both in the wind and hydro sectors, will enhance the efficiency of these plants and lower generation costs.
86% of our peninsular electricity generation is already emissions-free. This ambitious project to decarbonise our electricity generation will enable us to become a completely emissions-free company by 2040, with 100% of our generation linked to renewable sources.
Creating value for local communities
We apply a shared value creation (SVC) model to the construction, maintenance, and operation of renewable plants that incorporates the priorities and needs of local communities into the business strategy.
This model enhances the operating efficiency and the sustainable approach of the projects by promoting social, environmental, and energy efficiency measures in the towns around the plants. Therefore, every project represents an opportunity for economic, social, and environmental development for local communities.
Each renewable facility we develop includes a shared value creation plan designed in collaboration with local stakeholders and based on three main lines of action:
Sustainable construction
The construction phase of each project is carried out with the lowest possible environmental impact by voluntarily adopting measures such as solar power for site offices, water reuse systems, energy-efficient lighting, and electric vehicles. Many of these elements are later donated to the municipality.

Promotion of the local economy
Training actions, promotion of local contracting, and promotion of primary or tertiary sector initiatives linked to renewable projects, which can generate greater economic activity and employment in the area for fixing the rural population.

Sustainable electricity consumption
We aim to reduce electricity costs in the municipality through the installation of photovoltaic self-consumption solutions, electric mobility, consumption monitoring, and energy-efficient lighting in both public and private buildings.

Sustainable operating efficiency during the operation and maintenance stage
The Sustainable Plant Model has the aim of measuring the impact of the operation's activities on waste, emissions, water and people.
The model includes a catalogue of measures based on four main action lines:
- Water management: optimising the cleaning of solar plants, oil-free bearings in hydraulic turbines or sustainable waste water treatment plants.
- Emissions reduction: having operations and maintenance personnel use electric vehicles, LED lighting, etc.
- Waste management: reusing sediment, reusing and recycling river rubble, etc.
- Local environment: promoting sustainable tourism, facilitating an increase in agricultural income, protecting wildlife near transformers, etc.
