Spain just pulled off one of the fastest energy transformations in Europe.

the PV boom is net business indeed tho, I just understood that the Rajoy administration was hostile enough with the aforementioned tax (which killed the previous, Zapatero-era policy of solar panel roofs in new lots) that the numbers stopped making sense until it got all lifted

Nuclear and hydro, apparently, but the toot was deleted.

Electricity is typically around 10-20% of a country's total energy consumption.

But that's changing, also.

The boom in PV is just business. Lower investment, lower TCO (compared to wind etc).

PV and wind installed power reached parity in 2024. Installed PV is growing at 25-30% annually, installed wind power is growing at 2-4%.

Is there a graph with _all_ energy and fossil use? I.e. including motor traffic (which still runs on oil), heavy industries and chemical processes?

Definitively. But not impossible to pull it of in other European countries. A bit harder and more expensive? Sure, but political is the main blocker

21.85% solar
21.56% gas
20.41% wind
18.78% nuclear
11.37% hydropower
3.48% oil
2.23% bioenergy
0.32% coal

So renewables accounted for 53.63%, zero emissions (solar + wind + hydro + nuclear) 72.41%. Really good.

Their ties with Spanish energy and oil companies are so big that people used to say that if we could get energy from revolving doors we could provide energy for the whole world.

capacity which wasn't possible under a government infamous for taxing out power stations, the well-known "impuesto al sol" (Article 7 RD 900/2015, repealed in October 2018, taxing all production of solar energy even if for homes which were unplugged from the grid)

Better if there's no clouds sure. But also better to be further from the equator so more of the light is perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel.
