The market energy storage in Spain, particularly in relation to the BESS systems (Battery Energy Storage Systems), is undergoing a dynamic and accelerated evolution. This transformation is driven by the growing need to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity grid, improve supply stability and optimize energy use.
To support this growth, Spain has implemented several policies and regulations that encourage the development of energy storage. The Energy Storage Strategy 2030, promoted by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, is one of the key initiatives. This strategy aims to achieve a storage capacity of 20 GW by 2030.
Despite having a clear strategy and ambitious goals in the sector of energy storage In Spain, subsidies and direct aid specific to these technologies remain limited. This creates a significant barrier for companies and individuals interested in investing in energy storage solutions.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
Using the detailed NREL cost models for LIB, we develop base year costs for a 60-MW BESS with storage durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours, shown in terms of energy capacity ($/kWh) and power capacity ($/kW) in Figures 1 and 2, A Goldman Sachs report from February 2024 indicates an average price of $115 per kWh for EV batteries.
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
