Spain Daily Load Shape and Duck Curve by Hour, 8 October to 4 November 2026

In the 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026, electricity demand in Spain averaged 25,536 MW and typically peaked at 20:00 local time (30,134 MW) and bottomed out at 04:00 (20,510 MW). With solar and wind taken off, the remaining load fell to 3,025 MW at 14:00 and then rose 17,194 MW between 16:00 to 19:00. Hours are local clock time (Europe/Madrid).

Key Facts

  • Over 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026, average demand in Spain was 25,536 MW. The hour of the day with the highest average demand was 20:00 local time (30,134 MW) and the lowest was 04:00 (20,510 MW).

Average Day by Local Hour

28 days to 2026-11-04, Europe/Madrid time
Spain average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in Spain by local clock hour over 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026. It was lowest at 04:00 (20,510 MW) and highest at 20:00 (30,134 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026, weekdays and weekends together, for the hour starting at that local clock time. Net load is demand minus solar and wind generation. The single highest hour of demand in the whole 30 day window was 33,815 MW; it is a published reading, not an average, and is not part of the profile above.

Assumptions

  • Hours are local clock time in Europe/Madrid. A local day is used only if it is whole inside the 30 day window and at least 22 of its hours are complete; the profile uses the 28 most recent such days. Daylight saving follows the local clock: on a clock change day the missing hour is absent and the repeated hour is averaged over both readings.
  • The average mixes weekdays and weekends and covers only 28 days, so it describes recent conditions, not a seasonal norm.
  • The evening ramp is the largest rise over three hours in the average profile, starting between 14:00 and 20:00 local time.
