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.
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.
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:
Spain operates 17 GW of hydro capacity plus 3.3 GW of pumped storage. These assets have historically provided: Seasonal energy storage in reservoirs. Asset owners optimise based on the water value, considering power prices months into the future. Pumped Hydro responds to wholesale market price signals.
