Can batteries access the balancing market in Spain?
Balancing markets are another key source of battery revenue, but regulatory reform is required for batteries to access the Spanish balancing market. This is likely to happen relatively quickly but creates uncertainty around the level of balancing revenues.
Why are battery storage options more suitable in Spain?
As a result, shorter duration storage options like batteries are more suitable in Spain. In Spain, over 50% of excess renewable energy occurs in periods where there is continuous excess for less than 12 hours i.e. a battery that chooses to charge on this energy would be able to discharge within 12 hours.
Will CCGT fixed cost recovery help the Spanish capacity market?
As in other European capacity markets, CCGT fixed cost recovery will likely provide important medium term price support in the Spanish capacity market. New build batteries and existing CCGTs are likely to dominate price setting in the Spanish capacity market across the 2020s, but there will also be other technologies competing for contracts.
