La Moncloa. 17/03/2025. European Commission approves new 700 million aid scheme to boost energy storage in Spain [News] The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge will promote the large-scale deployment of this technology by co-financing investments of up to 85%.
Spain surpassed its 2020 target set by the Renewable Energy Directive, achieving a RES share that was 1.2 percentage points higher than the 20% goal. Energy storage also reduces the need for fossil fuel power plants to operate as backup. This lowers greenhouse gas emissions and cuts fuel costs.
The European Commission approved a new support scheme. 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.
Taking into consideration the ratios of aid granted per megawatt of storage in previous calls, 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts of new capacity could be expected. This decisive boost to the development of energy storage will help ensure the transformation of the energy system to make it more flexible, robust and resilient.
