A RECORD 60 per cent of all of Spain’s electricity was powered by wind turbines on one day earlier this month.
The feat, achieved thanks to high winds across the Iberian Peninsula, beat the previous record of 54.1 per cent set on December 30, 2010, over five hours.
Wind energy supplied 59.6 per cent of production for two hours in the early hours of November 6 according to the Spanish Electricity Network (REE).
The energy put into the country’s national grid by Spain’s huge network of wind turbines was the equivalent to more than 11 nuclear power stations’ worth of electricity.
