The national electricity demand experienced a decrease of 6.8% in November with respect to the same month of the previous year and after discounting the effects of temperature and working hours. In gross terms, a demand of 19,495 GWh is estimated, 9.1% lower than that of November 2021. According to provisional data, in the first eleven months of 2022, once the influence of the calendar and temperatures have been corrected, the demand is 2.8% lower than that registered in the previous year. During this time, the national electricity system has registered a gross demand of 230,264 GWh, 1.8% less than in the same period of 2021.

Key Highlights:

* Renewables generated 5.6% more this November than in the same month of 2021 and reached 10,200 GWh, which represents 46.9% of the mix, a participation that they had not achieved since May 2022.

* On the other On the other hand, 67.3% of the electricity production for the month came from technologies that do not emit CO 2 equivalent.

* Thus, wind power in November was 6,733 GWh and accounted for 31% of the total, its highest share since December 2020.

* While photovoltaic solar, with 1,518 GWh recorded this month, increased its production by 12.6% compared to that of last year and obtained a share of 7% of the mix.

* Hydraulics increased by 16% compared to November 2021, to produce 1,392 GWh.

November 21, historic day for wind energy

The wind allowed the wind energy production to reach 416 GWh on Monday, November 21, with which it obtained a share of 52.8% of the total daily energy generated, the highest share of this technology since Red Eléctrica has daily records. In fact, on November 21 at 8:55 p.m., Spanish wind turbines produced 20,607 MW in an instant, setting a new record.

Peninsular electricity demand

In the peninsular electricity system, the demand in November was 7.1% lower than in November 2021, taking into account the effects of working hours and temperatures (18,379 GWh, 9.4% less than that registered in the same month 2021 in gross terms).

In the first eleven months of 2022 and once the influence of working hours and temperature have been corrected, the demand is 3.4% lower than that registered in the same period of the previous year.

During this month and according to data estimated to date, 48.6% of the peninsular generation was of renewable origin and 70% came from technologies that do not emit CO 2 equivalent. For its part, wind generated 18.9% more than in the same period of the previous year and registered 6,628 GWh, which contributed 32% of the total, while photovoltaic solar, with 7.1% of the mix , It has increased its production by 11.6% compared to November 2021.

The demand for electricity in the Balearic and Canary Islands

In the Balearic Islands, the demand for electricity in November decreased by 8.4% once the effects of working hours and temperatures were taken into account. In gross terms, the monthly demand is estimated at 362,716 MWh, 11.2% lower than that registered in November 2021.

As for generation, it was the combined cycle, with 77% of the energy produced in the Balearic Islands, the first source of the islands in November. For its part, renewable energy without CO 2 equivalent emissions generated in the Balearic Islands represents 8.9% of the total. In addition, during this month, the submarine link between the Peninsula and Majorca contributed to cover 15.3% of the Balearic electricity demand.

For its part, in the Canary Islands, the demand for electrical energy, once the working hours and temperatures have been taken into account, has increased by 2.5% compared to the same month of the previous year. In gross terms, demand has stood at 722,887 MWh, 2.7% higher.

Regarding electricity generation in the Canary Islands, the combined cycle, with 44.1% of the total, was also the first source of generation this month, while renewables and emission-free technologies represented 18% of production, being Solar photovoltaic technology contributed the most to the Canary Islands mix with 14.4% of the total.
