Per the updated regulation, all renewable energy power stations (regardless of energy storage configuration) will receive priority protection during grid congestion, becoming
La Moncloa. 17/03/2025. European Commission approves new 700 million aid scheme to boost energy storage in Spain [News] The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge will promote the large-scale deployment of this technology by co-financing investments of up to 85%.
It targets large-scale energy storage projects in Spain. It focuses on technologies like standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS), pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), and thermal energy storage. The program supports hybrid projects, which combine storage with renewable energy, such as solar or wind farms.
The European Commission has approved a new aid scheme that will allow Spain to deploy large-scale electricity storage, both in hybridisation with renewable energy facilities and stand-alone and thermal.
Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems.
