3 FAQs about Spanish energy storage solar costs

Will Spain be able to deploy large-scale electricity storage?

The European Commission has approved a new aid scheme that will allow Spain to deploy large-scale electricity storage, both in hybridisation with renewable energy facilities and stand-alone and thermal.

How will Spain increase its energy storage capacity?

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.

Why should Spain invest in energy storage?

Investing in energy storage helps Spain meet its climate goals. This includes achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Storing renewable energy instead of wasting it helps the country rely less on fossil fuels. This also cuts down greenhouse gas emissions. Pumped hydro, thermal storage, and battery systems are effective technologies.
