Technical FAQs 4

What is Spain's battery storage market?

Spain’s battery storage market is dominated by customer-sited systems. Utility-scale storage remains nascent. Currently, Spain’s storage market is mainly composed of small-scale batteries co-located with solar PV. Spain’s household electricity prices now stand at over EUR 0.30/kWh on average.

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.

How much battery storage capacity will Spain have in 2027?

The capacity installed in grid-scale battery storage systems in Spain is forecast to increase from 56 megawatt-hours in 2023 to approximately 5.4 gigawatt-hours in 2027. By comparison, Italy's grid-scale battery storage capacity is projected to reach up to 15 gigawatt-hours by 2027. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated.

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.
