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. The program supports hybrid projects, which combine storage with renewable energy, such as solar or wind farms.
Today Spain has 36GW of total solar capacity and the government’s target is to reach 76GW by 2030. Spain has limited options for the surplus energy on its hands. Exporting large volumes to the rest of Europe is unfeasible because its grid links to France are limited. So the solution to the glut is storage.
But due to oversights or overconfidence, they say Spain has not adapted to its reliance on solar energy. Prices and demand are too low. Its grid and use of battery storage are behind the times. In a country that is a test case for renewables, the solar boom appears to have gone too far, too fast.
Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
