ENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO
Socioeconomic considerations
Total population: 2 Millions (+ approx. 250.000 equiv. permanently living tourists
= 12 Million per year!!))
7 islands with different dimensions and features (total area: 7.500 km2)
Significant economic development in the last 15 years, GDP based on tertiary
sector (tourism)
Energy
Total external energy dependence
Constant (significant) increase of energy demand
Electricity generation based on fossil fuels (oil), relatively small power stations)
(5) insular electrical systems, very difficult to interconnect (volcanic origin of the
islands)
Low heating energy demand, decentralized heat production
2
ENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO
Recent entry in force of national legislation concerning insular and
extrapeninsular eletrical systems, and entry of the system operator (Red
Eléctrica de España)
Will to diversify energy sources (combined cycle power plants already installed,
waiting for LNG introduction)
Historical lack of water resources and big experience in the search of artificial
water production systems (desalination market began in the 60’s) - Importance
of the water-energy binomial
Important weight of the transport sector
Renewable Energies
Excellent potentials (particularly wind and sun), but still low contribution to the
energy balance
Still lack of information, at all levels, about energy saving technologies, demand
management and RE
Very favourable normative framework for RE deployment (National Royal Decree
436/2004 and future Building Technical Code)
Existence of qualified research groups and technology centres with know-how
in this field

WATER-ENERGY BINOMIAL
20% of the energy production is dedicated to: Desalination,
and pumping (wells, elevation to consumption points).
Uses of desalinated water:
Urban & Touristic
374.000 m³/d
153 plants
Irrigation
146.000 m³/d
100 plants
1 kg of fuel is needed to desalinate 1 m3 of seawater
For 522.000 m³/d (current desalination capacity in the Canary Islands) this is
equivalent to import 150.000 Tons of fuel per year
