A decade ago, Spain was one of Europe's more expensive power markets, and critics said it was investing too much in solar energy. Now, the average wholesale price for electricity in the country is one of the lowest in Europe.

@ScienceDesk@flipboard.social I live in Portugal, Spain’s neighbour. Here too, there are more and more wind turbines, hydroelectric power stations, solar panels and solar farms. Last year, the price per kWh fell slightly again.
