New Wind Power Record in Spain

At 5 A.M. on November 24th, wind power provided by spanish wind farms reached 9,253 megawatts out of a total demand of 21,264 megawatts. This accounts to around 43% of the total power demand at that time. This was caused by the heavy winds and rain that hit Spain at that time.

The previous record of 40.8 percent was set in March, also during a stormy day.

Wind power generated a maximum of 10,263 megawatts in Spain shortly after noon on Monday, compared to the production record of 10,880 megawatts set in April.
