Since 2022, non-compensated grid curtailment has significantly impacted renewable energy across Spain. The costs for managing the grid skyrocketed in 2023, exceeding 2 billion €. More notably, non-compensated curtailments accounted for over 1% of total renewable generation in both 2022 and 2023. These curtailments, however, vary by location, with some plants in specific provinces experiencing curtailment rates higher than 10%. As grid curtailment becomes a critical issue for renewable energy developers in Spain, it is essential to address and understand its implications.
