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.
For stakeholders in battery storage, thermal storage, and pumped hydro, this program offers not only financial backing but also long-term stability and political support. Spain has launched a €700 million energy storage program to support battery, thermal, and pumped hydro projects, aiming to deploy 2.5–3.5 GW of capacity.
The 45 battery and thermal energy storage projects allocated European Union subsidies will add more than 779 MW/3.4 GWh of capacity to the Spanish grid.
The European Commission has approved a €699 million state aid scheme in Spain to support the deployment of up to 3.5GW of energy storage.
The European Commission said it will support the construction of 1,800MWh of new 'electricity storage projects' while Spain's Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) said it would support a total of 2.5-3.5GW of new capacity, in a separate announcement.
Some 35 battery sites with a total scale of 690.2 MW/2.82 GWh will receive €150 million under the program. A further 10 thermal storage sites will receive €6.48 million and add 88.35 MW/591.27 MWh of capacity to Spain's grid. All the projects will be operational in either 2025 or 2026.
