Aragón produces 167% of the energy it consumes and sends 51% of its output to other Spanish regions. More than 83% of the energy generated in the region comes from renewable sources, according to Aragón’s Energy Outlook Bulletin.
Aragón raises energy consumption while exporting more than half of its output
Final primary energy consumption in Aragón rose 7.7% from 2024. Industry accounted for 38.7% of demand, while transportation exceeded 30%, making the two sectors the largest energy consumers in 2025.
The region has 13,758 megawatts of installed capacity, of which 83.3% comes from renewable technologies. This capacity generated 22,365 gigawatt-hours, with renewables accounting for 83.4% of the total.
Aragón’s energy production is equivalent to 167% of its consumption. The surplus enables 51% of the energy produced to be consumed outside the region.
Wind power accounts for nearly half of the electricity generated in Aragón
Wind energy continues to play a central role in Aragón’s electricity system. In 2024, 233 wind farms were operating, with installed capacity of 5,709 megawatts and generation of 10,928 gigawatt-hours, nearly 50% of the region’s electricity output.
Solar photovoltaic capacity totals 3,270 megawatts, with output exceeding 4.93 gigawatt-hours. The bulletin identifies the technology as the fastest-growing in recent years.
Self-consumption is also gaining ground: by the end of 2025, Aragón was approaching 20,000 installations, with 689 megawatts of capacity. Over five years, this model has grown by 933% in the region.
Energy planning for 2026-2030 keeps investment uncertainty alive
Economy, Competitiveness and Employment Minister Eva Valle cited the lack of a decision on the 2026-2030 energy plan as one of the main sources of uncertainty. She said that one year has passed since the deadline for submitting objections closed, while the planned investments have yet to be carried out.
Valle warned that the situation could hinder the arrival of industrial projects and also affect housing developments. The minister said the Government of Aragón supports regulation of the sector, although she questioned the proposed model.
The regional government is also finalizing its objections to the royal decree on data centers. Valle argued that if the regulation is approved under the proposed terms, investments for which the region has competed may fail to materialize and could instead be located in other countries.
