Abstract: This study compares renewable energy sources in Slovakia and Spain, countries with different geographical, climatic and political conditions. It examines both countries’ current state of play and assesses how their laws and policies have contributed to the transition to renewable energy sources. The study focuses on several forms of renewable energy, including solar, wind, hydropower and biomass energy. The comparison considers several variables, including production, consumption and environmental impact. The analysis findings highlight the contrasts and similarities between the two nations and shed light on the best strategies to advance sustainable energy development. The study also compares the leading strategies and policies for renewable energy sources to understand which factors support or hinder the transition to sustainable and clean energy. The results of this study can be helpful for government agencies, businesses, academia and members of the public interested in supporting sustainable energy development.
