Why do we need energy storage systems in Spain?

Energy storage systems in Spain are a key element in the fight against climate change, as they help us to address the challenge of the energy transition. These systems make renewable energy production more flexible; and therefore help us to guarantee its integration into the Spanish electricity system.

How will Spain invest in energy storage?

This will include battery and pumped hydro plants, as well as potentially some thermal storage associated with concentrated solar power technology, which Spain is a leader in. The Spanish government is also looking to create an energy storage value chain within a €1 billion investment program.

Should Spain launch a capacity market?

In Spain, the launch of a capacity market would add to favorable tailwinds including massive solar and onshore wind resource and government willingness to drive development of alternative technologies such as marine renewables.

Could pumped hydro storage be a key support mechanism for energy storage?

However, the market could also provide a valuable support mechanism for energy storage. Pumped hydro storage already plays an important role in helping to balance large amounts of renewable energy on the Spanish grid, which as of April 2024 was operating with between 60% and 70% renewable energy penetration.

How does Iberdrola support energy storage?

In terms of energy storage, Iberdrola sees it as a key driver of decarbonisation and the energy transition, enabling large-scale and small-scale storage through pumped storage and lithium-ion battery technology to support the electrification of the energy system.
