MADRID: Spain's wind energy generators this week reached an all-time high in electricity production, exceeding power generated by all other means, including nuclear, the nation's electricity network authority said. Wind power generation contributed 27 per cent, 8375 megawatts, of the country's total power requirement as of yesterday, Red Electrica said.

Nuclear power, the second largest contributor, added 6797mW and coal-fired electric generation 5081mW.
