Abstract

Renewable energy (RES) is the world's great hope forcontaining climate change,but there is a great difficulty in the transition process. Therefore,the European Union (EU) established that for 2030 the percentage of RES should cover 32% of total energy consumption. In this contexcto Spain seeks to adapt to meet the energy challenges. That study analyzed the regulatory framework of RES sources in Spain and its implications for the development of those sources. The study deals with a review analysis of the regulatory framework of the RES in Spain and descriptive analysis of secondary data on this type of energy, between the years of 1997 to the current period. As a result, it was observed that the European RES policies of the first decade of the twenty-first century have also shown their limitations. It has become clear that the political and economic framework for its implementation is unstable and fluctuating.  More recently, with the new Royal Decree 244/2019, which establishes that all energy consumed from renewable origin will be exempt from charges and tolls, plays light on the growth of renewables and real possibility of meeting the EU's objectives for 2030.
