More than 182 MW of the battery energy storage systems (BESS) highlighted in Spain's Official State Gazette (BOE) are for hybridization with existing solar and wind generation capacity. From ESS News pv magazine España lists the most notable energy storage projects announced in Spain's BOE in the fourth quarter of 2024.
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.
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 Casablanca Solar Power Plant – Thermal Energy Storage System is a 50,000kW molten salt thermal storage energy storage project located in Talarrubias, Badajoz, Spain. The thermal energy storage battery storage project uses molten salt thermal storage storage technology.
The La Africana Solar Power Plant – Thermal Energy Storage System is a 50,000kW molten salt thermal storage energy storage project located in Posadas, Spain. The thermal energy storage battery storage project uses molten salt thermal storage storage technology. The project will be commissioned in 2012.
