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. The goal is to improve how Spain uses renewable energy. .
The 2023 NECP proposes a 173% increase (or 85 GW) in renewable capacity by 2030 from current capacities1; storage2 is expected to increase by 487%, or 15 GW from installed capacity. Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) can ensure renewable energy is utilised in the system while decreasing reliance. .
As of 31 December 2023, the Spanish electricity system's power generation capability, including both the mainland and non-mainland systems, had increased by 5.2 % compared to the previous year, reaching an all-time high with an installed power capacity of 125,620 MW. Installed renewable power. .
According to new data from trade body UNEF, Spain reached 1.823 MWh of cumulative storage capacity at the end of December 2023. From pv magazine Spain According to data from Spanish solar energy association UNEF, around 495 MWh of behind-the-meter storage capacity was installed in Spain in 2023. .
Renewable generation is now joined by storage projects, and Spain occupies a prominent place as the country with the second largest projected capacity for stand-alone batteries at an advanced stage of development. With a significant deployment of renewable energy capacity, Spain stands out in this. .
