Although [[wind energy]] and [[solar energy]] have been playing increasingly important roles in Castilla–La Mancha, the majority of the energy generated in the region comes from the region's large [[thermal power station]]s: the [[Elcogas Thermal Power Station]] (owned by [[Elcogas]])<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://boletines.secv.es/upload/20070112121117.45%5B1%5D28-32.pdf |title=Las escorias de la central térmica GICC ELCOGAS como materia prima para la síntesis de materiales vitrocerámicos.

Castilla–La Mancha is also the home of the [[Trillo Nuclear Power Plant]] near [[Trillo, Guadalajara]].

Existing [[Solar thermal energy|solar thermal power plants]] (all using a [[parabolic trough]] collector) in the region include Manchasol-1 and Manchasol-2 in Alcázar de San Juan (49.9 and 50 MW respectively),<ref name=cspplants>{{Cite book|url=https://arena.gov.au/assets/knowledge-bank/2263503A-POW-RPT-001-RevD-Options-Study-Report.pdf|title=Port Augusta Solar Thermal Generation.

Regarding [[photovoltaic power plant]]s, Picón I, Picón II and Picón III (50 MW each), located in [[Porzuna]], were put into operation in 2019.<ref name=porzuna />
