• The transition to a de-carbonized energy model, largely free from fossil fuels, is the world's main challenge to combat global warming.
• More than half of Spain's electrical system demand in 2023 was met with the generation of renewable energies, thanks to a strong push in the implementation of renewable energies.
• The energy transition can provide low-cost energy self-sufficiency to Spain, drawing on its own natural resources such as sun and wind.
• The government estimates that the energy transformation can provide a 2.5% GDP growth and generate half a million jobs by 2030.
• A pricing system is needed that guarantees the return on investment for the necessary new investments in photovoltaic or wind energy.
• The problem of excessive supply of renewable energy with slow demand needs to be corrected.
• Spain will continue depending on external energy sources as natural gas will remain as the energy source to offset the instability of renewable energies' production.

Conclusion: Despite challenges, the transition towards a new energy model is inevitable and essential for the sustainable future. Public-private cooperation and social consciousness will play key roles in this process.
