Spain seeks thermal energy storage proposals by September The government of Spain is launching €280 million (US$310 million) in grants for standalone energy storage projects,
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.
The 45 battery and thermal energy storage projects allocated European Union subsidies will add more than 779 MW/3.4 GWh of capacity to the Spanish grid.
From ESS News 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.
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.
Spain’s battery storage market is dominated by customer-sited systems. Utility-scale storage remains nascent. Currently, Spain’s storage market is mainly composed of small-scale batteries co-located with solar PV. Spain’s household electricity prices now stand at over EUR 0.30/kWh on average.
