Although the energy storage industry in Spain is focusing on battery storage, there is also a possibility to increase pumped storage capacity. However, there are various challenges associated with developing these projects in Spain, including social and environmental impacts, and the timelines associated with such projects.
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.
Spanish public bodies tend to get involved in storage projects during innovation and research stages and not at the commercial level. The impact of developing electricity storage projects with a public administration or an entity subject to public procurement regulations will need to be considered.
In this context, the development of energy storage technologies has been presented as one of the main solutions to enable the full decarbonisation of the Spanish energy system and ensure the delivery of supply, maximizing the use of the grid and providing structure to the integration of renewable technologies.
