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.
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.
Investing in energy storage helps Spain meet its climate goals. This includes achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. 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.
A stronger grid helps homes, businesses, and industries. It gives steady electricity and cuts down on interruptions. In 2023, renewable energy sources made up nearly one-quarter of Spain's final energy consumption, as seen below.
The European Commission approved a new support scheme. 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.
Namely, from 43 €/MWh (lower case) to 52.5 €/MWh and from 47 €/MWh (high case) to 56.5 €/MWh. This is comparable with the 67 €/MWh LCOH for the TES with retail charges. In Spain, subsidies for storage will be granted through four calls under the PERTE ERHA1 scheme.
