4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Backup power madrid"

Why do we need battery energy storage systems in Spain?

Due to the large capacity of installed hydroelectric and thermal storage systems and the resilience of the Spanish power grid, the need for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Spain has been relatively low. The lack of a clear regulatory framework for BESS has also hindered its development in Spain so far.

Why is battery storage a problem in Spain?

Along with the lack of urgency around battery storage on the Spanish grids, key regulatory and market fundamentals have been lacking for the BESS business in Spain. The Spanish market has primarily relied on pumped hydro storage and thermal storage.

How much energy storage capacity does Spain have?

When it comes to installed energy storage capacity in general, Spain is one of the leading countries within Europe (see figure 2). 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.

How much energy storage does Spain need in 2030?

The projected storage needs of Spain in 2030 are similar to those of the UK and Italy. In its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the Spanish government aims to have 22.5GW of energy storage by 2030 (see table 1). This amount of storage capacity will be needed to integrate the growing capacity of intermittent generation.
