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
Thanks to publicly available data from the national grid and market operators, respectively Red Eléctrica de España (REE) and OMIE, we were able to calculate the average captured price for both technologies in each AC over the - period, based on hourly day-ahead wholesale market prices**.
The Spanish scheme for energy storage hybrid projects that produce electricity from renewable sources.The programme fits within the organisation's Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan (RRTP). A total installed capacity of at least 600 MW, or the equal amount of total energy supply, will be
Maximum eligible costs per storage unit range from EUR 250/kWh for stand-alone storage to EUR 1,500/kWh for new pumped-storage hydropower projects. Aid will be distributed by region, with higher allocations to less developed or transitioning areas in line with EU cohesion policies. Beneficiaries
