How will Spain increase its energy storage capacity?
Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems.
What is energy storage in Spain?
It targets large-scale energy storage projects in Spain. It focuses on technologies like standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS), pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), and thermal energy storage. The program supports hybrid projects, which combine storage with renewable energy, such as solar or wind farms.
Why should Spain invest in energy storage?
Investing in energy storage helps Spain meet its climate goals. This includes achieving carbon neutrality by . Storing renewable energy instead of wasting it helps the country rely less on fossil fuels. This also cuts down greenhouse gas emissions. Pumped hydro, thermal storage, and battery systems are effective technologies.
When will energy storage become a reality?
Separately, the target for energy storage deployment will more than between and , with 9.2GW expected in and nearly 19GW in . An ambitious target for the country where energy storage has yet to soar— due to a lack of regulation for the technology —at a similar level to solar PV.
Why is renewable generation a problem in Spain?
Renewable generation is hindered by declining prices, lack of access capacity tenders, and project financing challenges, but opportunities lie in PPAs, asset hybridisation with storage, and the approval of the Spanish capacity market.
How much solar PV will Spain have by ?
This is up 1GW from the targets proposed last year in Spain’s updated NECP. On the other hand, solar PV’s target remains the same as previously reported by our sister site PV Tech last year. By the country aims to have 76GW of solar PV, including 19GW of self-consumption.
