BESS project financing options in Spain 2025

How many Bess projects are there in Spain?

In March , UK companies Renewco and Atlantica announced the development of up to 2.2GW of BESS projects across Spain. Other projects in the pipeline primarily involve storage co-located with solar or wind generation. According to BloombergNEF, the total capacity currently in the BESS pipeline is around 3GW.

Will Spain start a new energy storage scheme?

The Ministry of the Environment of Spain has launched its latest financial support scheme for energy storage, aiming to kickstart 2.5-3.5GW.

Does Spain need a Bess energy system?

Currently, Spain has 6.3GW of hydroelectric and 1GW of thermal storage capacity installed. In fact, the non-BESS storage capacity in Spain is higher than in any other European country. As a result, the need for BESS to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity system is less immediate than in the UK, for example.

How will Spain support energy storage projects?

Spain’s Ministry of the Environment has formally launched its latest financial support scheme for energy storage, aiming to kickstart the deployment of 2.5-3.5GW of projects. The World’s Leading Energy Storage Event Series Unlike other storage conferences, proceeds from the event help to fund high quality journalism across our media titles.

How does Spain's pumped hydro energy storage compete with Bess?

Spain's pumped hydro energy storage competes directly against BESS, limiting the battery storage opportunity in wholesale markets. 3. Missing ancillary markets Unlike Great Britain or Texas, Spain never created ancillary service markets that net-zero systems need:

Does Spain need government support for Bess?

In Spain, significant growth has been seen in the BESS field over the last few years in the context of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC). However, there are still opportunities within the associated policies and regulations to unlock the necessary government support for these initiatives.

To start addressing this, the Spanish Government announced that it will provide grants to support the deployment of 600MW of BESS1. This initial support needs to be coupled with access to reliable, long term revenue streams that are not currently accessible.
