The tariffs for each period vary depending on month of the year and are different according to the region in Spain. The contracted power has to be defined for each period P1 to
The 2021 ATB represents cost and performance for battery storage across a range of durations (1–8 hours). It represents lithium-ion batteries only at this time. There are a variety of other commercial and emerging energy storage
Base year installed capital costs for BESS decrease with duration (for direct storage, measured in $/kWh), while system costs (in $/kW) increase. This inverse behavior is observed for all energy storage technologies and highlights the
This article reviews the current state of the capacity market in Spain, its design, and its implications for storage. Carlos Redondo addresses the topic considering the
The objective of this study is to contribute to the development of a national strategy for storage systems in Spain up to 2050. To do that, it is necessary to study the different storage
The Spanish government has set a new 2030 energy storage target of 22.5 GW in an energy strategy submitted to the European Commission. The nation aims to cover over
Future Years: In the 2023 ATB, the FOM costs and the VOM costs remain constant at the values listed above for all scenarios. Capacity Factor The cost and performance of the battery systems are based on an assumption of
Capacity factors increased from 30 % to more than 50 % (depending on location) through larger storage capacities and higher operating temperatures. Operations and
Spain is launching €160 million (US$170 million) in grants for energy storage projects, aiming to fund 600MW of projects to go online in 2026.
The rapidly evolving landscape of utility-scale energy storage systems has reached a critical turning point, with costs plummeting by 89% over the past decade. This dramatic shift transforms the economics of grid-scale
1. **Battery Cost**: The battery is the core component of the energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a significant portion of the total cost. As of 2024, the cost of
A worse agreement between electricity demand and wind power production implies a greater potential for energy storage, also increasing the required share of natural gas
The market for utility-scale storage projects remains comparatively small at around 100MW, though a pipeline of projects is beginning to emerge.2,3,4,5 Much of Spain''s existing utility
Solar Installed System Cost Analysis NREL analyzes the total costs associated with installing photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential rooftop, commercial rooftop, and utility
Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration

Spain’s battery storage market is dominated by customer-sited systems. Utility-scale storage remains nascent. Currently, Spain’s storage market is mainly composed of small-scale batteries co-located with solar PV. Spain’s household electricity prices now stand at over EUR 0.30/kWh on average.
The capacity market in Spain represents an opportunity for the storage sector but cannot be considered the sole basis for investment. Its design must be complemented by a diversification strategy in other electricity markets to ensure the profitability and sustainability of projects.
Aim to ensure the effective deployment of energy storage. Spanish storage capacity from the current 8.3 GW, to 20 GW in 2030 and 30 GW in 2050. The PNIEC scenario for the hourly pool price projection calculation for the 2024 - 2043 horizon has been carried out by the Advisor based on PNIEC objectives using the software xPryce®.
This variability, combined with Spain’s excellent solar resources, make the economics of combining solar with storage increasingly favorable. The market for utility-scale batteries has been almost non-existent until recently as the market has lacked a clear policy and regulatory framework.
In addition, Spain has developed a national storage roadmap that includes a target to achieve 20GW of storage by 2030. However, current levels of customer-sited storage adoption already exceed its 2030 targets.37 To date, neither has been sufficiently attractive to mobilize investments at scale.
The development of the capacity market in Spain has progressed in recent months with the publication of a public consultation in December 2024. The process is currently following these steps: Public consultation: Recently concluded after a six-week period, during which feedback was received from various industry stakeholders.
