Data sources & methodology

Autoconsumo capacity: Estimated by scaling a 2023 regional reference of approximately 85,000 self-consumption installations at approximately 1,000 MW to the REE value of 1,947 MW at 2025 year-end. Formula: round(85,000 × 1,947 / 1,000, -3) = 165,000.

Electricity price: 2025 annual mean PVPC final household energy price including final taxes (electricity tax + IVA), expressed in EUR/kWh.

Yield: Estimated from a PVGIS-style reference near Barcelona at approximately 41.39, 2.17 for a south-facing 35 degree residential system, using raw annual output around 1610 kWh/kWp and applying about 10% combined real-world losses.
