As expected, the higher the pool price, the higher the difference between buying and selling price. During most of the years, this difference is between 50 and 70 €/MWh for the BESS 2h, and 40
As the renewable energy sector rapidly evolves, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are emerging as a critical pillar for decarbonization. However, with capital constraints
BESS projects can provide a reliable and cost-effective solution, but their full potential remains largely unexplored. To remedy this situation there is a need to focus significant effort on
PV arrays at Gemini Solar + Storage. CATL provided the BESS containers and IHI Terrasun served as system integrator. The project was one of the largest to come online in the US last year. Image: Primergy. BESS
Overview: Spain and Portugal use the same grid, the Iberian Grid, through the MIBEL agreement established in 2004. Policy Environment: Spain has updated its National
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are one of the latest solutions for storing energy for later use. The batteries have a mechanism that allows energy to flow in both directions to charge and discharge the batteries. In this way, the battery is
How much does it cost to build a battery in 2024? Modo Energy''s industry survey reveals key Capex, O&M, and connection cost benchmarks for BESS projects.
The country is generating (and committed to steady growth in the coming years) a significant portion of energy from renewables, makes the BESS role increasingly important in addressing generation intermittency and
One of these projects, located in Blackhillock, Scotland, came online in March 2025 and is the world''s first BESS project to provide stability services. In late 2024, three BESS projects
In part 1 of our series on backup power in Europe, we named Italy as one of the most attractive European countries for BESS investments. The Italian electricity sector is
Thanks to advances in technology, BESS systems now offer longer operational lifetimes – meaning more time to generate revenues. CAPEX costs have also dropped significantly from
LCP Delta and Santander have combined their expertise to provide this report into the opportunity for investment in battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Spain.
Until 2024, Spain had never experienced negative wholesale electricity prices. However, that is changing, and the number of negative price hours is growing faster than in France and
Discover updated insights on BESS profitability in Europe with our latest Clean Horizon Storage Index, now featuring Denmark DK1 & DK2 in a clear, color-coded historical performance chart.
Spain''s National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) has mandated 22.5 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030, a major step-up in commitments from current storage levels: in April 2025, Spain''s installed BESS

Energy storage is vital for integrating renewable energy, ensuring reliability of power supply, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. BESS stands out for its affordability, driven by
Executive Summary To gain insights into the most pressing concerns within the battery energy storage sector, we surveyed 83 engineers, technicians and asset managers for the "BESS
Spain and Italy present a €45 million opportunity for BESS insurance premiums. Discover how NARDAC supports renewable energy projects in these regions.
These developments are propelling the market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage is an essential enabler of renewable-energy generation, helping alternatives make a steady contribution to the
In March 2025, UK companies Renewco and Atlantica announced the development of up to 2.2GW of BESS projects across Spain. Other projects in the pipeline primarily involve storage co-located with solar or wind generation. According to BloombergNEF, the total capacity currently in the BESS pipeline is around 3GW.
Currently, Spain has 6.3GW of hydroelectric and 1GW of thermal storage capacity installed. In fact, the non-BESS storage capacity in Spain is higher than in any other European country. As a result, the need for BESS to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity system is less immediate than in the UK, for example.
Spain's pumped hydro energy storage competes directly against BESS, limiting the battery storage opportunity in wholesale markets. 3. Missing ancillary markets Unlike Great Britain or Texas, Spain never created ancillary service markets that net-zero systems need:
The current situation of the Spanish BESS market confirms that both of these factors are required to gain market attraction: Despite a high penetration of renewable energy, the Spanish regulatory framework has been lagging and the first BESS projects of significant size have yet to be built.
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.
Another reason the integration of BESS is less urgent in Spain is the high resilience of the Spanish grid, despite its low level of interconnection. The Spanish TSO operates a very solid matrix-design grid, which includes a system for technical restrictions centrally operated in the Renewable Energy Control Centre (CECRE).
