utility scale ESS project financing options in Spain 2025

How will the European Commission support large-scale energy storage in Spain?

The European Commission on Monday approved a new aid scheme for the deployment of large-scale electricity storage in Spain. Subsidies will be available for standalone energy storage sites, projects installed alongside renewable energy facilities, and storage planned as part of thermal power plants.

How much energy storage will Spain have by ?

In its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the Spanish government aims to have 22.5GW of energy storage by (see table 1). This amount of storage capacity will be needed to integrate the growing capacity of intermittent generation.

Can Spain deploy large-scale energy storage with co-financing of 85%?

The European Commission on Monday greenlit a new aid scheme to enable Spain to deploy large-scale energy storage with co-financing of up to 85%. The European Commission on Monday approved a new aid scheme for the deployment of large-scale electricity storage in Spain.

Does Spain need a Bess energy system?

Currently, Spain has 6.3GW of hydroelectric and 1GW of thermal storage capacity installed. In fact, the non-BESS storage capacity in Spain is higher than in any other European country. As a result, the need for BESS to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity system is less immediate than in the UK, for example.

How many Bess projects are there in Spain?

In March , UK companies Renewco and Atlantica announced the development of up to 2.2GW of BESS projects across Spain. Other projects in the pipeline primarily involve storage co-located with solar or wind generation. According to BloombergNEF, the total capacity currently in the BESS pipeline is around 3GW.

What is Spain's regulatory framework for energy storage?

Spain’s regulatory framework for BESS is set in its Strategy for Energy Storage. The Strategy identifies the required regulatory measures – such as grid access, market structure, and addressing double tolling – that are currently needed to ensure the deployment of a solid energy storage market.
