According to the IEA''s "Spanish Energy Policy Review 2021", Spain aims to build large-scale new renewable energy capacity, especially wind and solar energy, which is expected to reach 74% of electricity generation in 2030.
This new funding builds on earlier support under Spain''s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), which has already mobilized €730 million for 4.5
In its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the Spanish government aims to have 22.5GW of energy storage by 2030 (see table 1). This amount of storage capacity will be needed to integrate the growing capacity of intermittent generation.
In just a few months, Spain has green lit more than 65 GW of solar projects that launched new hydrogen and battery storage pilots in order to increase its backing of global fusion research. It wants a grid that can generate, store, and sustain energy without import gaps or guesswork.
Download the full report to stay ahead in this rapidly evolving market. With Spain’s solar market remaining a crucial topic, don’t miss your free ticket for Solar & Storage Live España 25-26 June 2025. Spain’s solar energy sector has surged to 22.45 GW of capacity by early 2023, with ground-mounted solar farms driving 77% of new installations.
Due to the large capacity of installed hydroelectric and thermal storage systems and the resilience of the Spanish power grid, the need for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Spain has been relatively low. The lack of a clear regulatory framework for BESS has also hindered its development in Spain so far.
When German prices reach -€150/MWh, Spain can't import enough energy to bring the price down. Economic curtailment: Most Spanish solar installations are large commercial projects with remote control capabilities. When prices become negative, solar operators stop generating.
In April 2025, a sharp power outage hit parts of southern and central Spain — not during low supply, but at the exact moment solar output was peaking. The issue wasn’t a lack of energy, but rather a lack of grid flexibility and storage. There was too much supply during the day, not enough demand, and nowhere to store the excess.
