Abstract

Nowadays; the global energy generation system relies mostly on fossil fuels. However; their foreseen depletion for the forthcoming decades puts at risk the current schema and suggests a gradual transition to a more self sustainable system. Consequently; the European Union (EU) committed in March 2007 to set a binding target for 20% of the EU’s total energy supply to come from renewables by 2020. In this work; we tackle the study of the renewables’ potential for electricity production in the province of Jaén (southern Spain); which has a pronounced unbalance between its inner electricity production and consumption. The potential of biomass from olive trees; solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power has been analyzed using Geographical Information System tools. As a preliminary result; it has been proposed the installation of 5 biomass facilities; with an estimated production of 735 GWh per year; 10 PV facilities; with an estimated production of 534 GWh per year; and 50 windmills; with an estimated production of 172 GWh per year. Overall; these three resources together would be able to increase the rate of produced to consumed electricity in the province from a 30% to a 77%.
