part 4: Spain''s BESS market is heating up
In this report, we delve into the developments in the regulatory framework of the Spanish electricity system and explore the potential of Spain''s battery energy storage systems (BESS) market.
View DetailsCurrently, 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. As a result, the need for BESS to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity system is less immediate than in the UK, for example.
Spain's pumped hydro energy storage competes directly against BESS, limiting the battery storage opportunity in wholesale markets. 3. Missing ancillary markets Unlike Great Britain or Texas, Spain never created ancillary service markets that net-zero systems need:
In March 2025, UK companies Renewco and Atlantica announced the development of up to 2.2GW of BESS projects across Spain. Other projects in the pipeline primarily involve storage co-located with solar or wind generation. According to BloombergNEF, the total capacity currently in the BESS pipeline is around 3GW.
Spain's regulatory framework for BESS is set in its Strategy for Energy Storage. The Strategy identifies the required regulatory measures – such as grid access, market structure, and addressing double tolling – that are currently needed to ensure the deployment of a solid energy storage market.
