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.
The European Commission approved a new support scheme. 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.
1.The Ministry of Ecolog The Spanish National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) sets a target of 76 GW of photovoltaic capacity by 2030, including 19 GWac from self-consumption and 57 GWac from large-scale projects.

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 event will bring together representatives from the IDAE, leaders of energy communities and senior executives from across the sector to discuss the expansion of storage, grid
