The pie chart above depicts the division of the energy production in Spain in two different moments: 2008 and 2017. Six different types of energy production are considered for comparison.
Overall, we can see that in 2008 two energy sources are most popular in the country, while in 2017 some lines had an increase in its relative participation, culminating in a better distribution.
Initially, in 2008 oil and coal were in a proportion of use of 27% and 28%, respectively. Gas occupied the third place between the sources, with 22%, while nuclear energy represented 11%. In its turn, renewables sources were only 9% of total, and other kinds of energy just totaled 3%.
A significant difference is noticed in 2017. Firstly, a strong decrease in the use of coal occurred, dropping nine percentage points to 17%, with the same representativity of nuclear energy, which had an important increase in its participation. Oil kept as the most important source, but now meaning 23%, a relevant reduction. Finally, renewables and other types of energy had a notable expansion, gaining 10 percentage points of participation, caracterizing a more sustainable energy matrix in Spain.
