In a statement, Adene reported a 6.6% increase in total renewable electricity production compared to September of last year. This growth was driven by a 27% rise in solar photovoltaic, a 2.2% increase in wind power, and a 1.2% uptick in biomass.
Conversely, hydroelectric production decreased by 1.3%.
According to data from REN, the distribution of renewable production in September was as follows: wind energy accounted for 25.4%, solar photovoltaic for 14.4%, hydroelectric for 11.2%, and biomass for 6%.
Meanwhile, electricity production from non-renewable sources, particularly natural gas, saw a 71.6% increase compared to September of the previous year.
Despite the import balance reaching 26%, this figure was approximately 22.8% lower than the same month last year.
During the same period, hydroelectric production declined by 1.3%. Electricity production from non-renewable sources (primarily natural gas) increased by about 71.6% compared to September 2024.
Regarding natural gas, consumption in September rose by 17.8% year-on-year, with the United States being the sole supplier.
Of the consumed amount, 32.9% was used for electricity production, with the remainder allocated to the conventional market.
Natural gas consumption for the electricity market surged by 113%, while that for the conventional market declined by 3.4% compared to the same month last year.
