The Spanish Electricity System 2013

The demand for electricity in 2013 fell again for the third consecutive year reaching a level similar to that registered in 2005. Ever since the economic crisis began in 2008, demand has experienced a continued decline consistent with the negative behaviour of the Spanish economy and, despite following a path of gradual improvement in 2013 with a small increase in the third and fourth quarters (0.1% and 0.2% respectively quarter on quarter), in general 2013 saw a drop in GDP of 1.2% year on year.
