Technical FAQs 4

Why is Portugal launching a solar energy storage project?

This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and stability of Portugal's power supply system amid its record-breaking solar electricity production. On July 31, the ministry announced the allocation of €99.75 million through a call for tenders to install energy storage projects totaling 500 MW.

Why is energy storage important in Portugal?

Renewable energies are inevitably vulnerable to variations in availability, since the sun and the wind cannot be programmed. Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal’s installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year.

What does Portugal's energy policy mean for the energy sector?

The Portuguese Ministry of Energy has allocated €100 million for grid flexibility and energy storage projects to be completed by the end of 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and stability of Portugal's power supply system amid its record-breaking solar electricity production.

What does Portugal's energy storage tender mean for the energy transition?
