Spain has seven operable nuclear reactors with a total net capacity of 7123 MWe, providing around one-fifth of its electricity. The country has a policy to phase-out nuclear power by 2035, with four reactors closing by the end of 2030.
In February 2025 the Plenary Session of the Congress, the lower house of Spain’s legislative branch, voted narrowly in favour of calling on the government to reverse the phase-out decision.159
