The project, which combines solar generation and battery storage, is expected to be completed by the end of 2025 with a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement in place.
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Spain had 88MW of
Spain is targeting 20GW of new energy storage by 2030. MITECO also launched a similarly-sized grant scheme specifically for co-located or hybridised energy storage projects, for which proposals were due in March 2023. Enel Green Power submitted two projects during the first quarter which fit the criteria, totalling 60MWh and 38MWh respectively.
Among these, the IEA highlighted Spain and Austria within the European Union, which together account for 3.3 GW of pumped storage hydropower projects, even though they are much smaller countries than the Asian giant.
Between 2024 and 2030, the IEA expects around 165 GW of hydropower projects to come into operation, a similar figure to that achieved between 2017 and 2023. China clearly leads this field, with around 40% of the projected growth due to its ambition to install large-scale pumped storage and conventional hydropower systems.
After that year, the revenues increase slightly to around 15.5 M€ in 2032 and, after that, they decrease almost linearly to 9.5 M€ in 2043. Same behavior is presented for the pumped hydro with 200 MW and 7.5 hours, but with higher revenues, as they will store and discharge almost the double amount of energy.
According to IEA data, there are currently 540 GW of independent storage projects worldwide that are awaiting grid connection. The vast majority of these storage projects are still at an early stage or being explored.
