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%.
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.
For stakeholders in battery storage, thermal storage, and pumped hydro, this program offers not only financial backing but also long-term stability and political support. Spain has launched a €700 million energy storage program to support battery, thermal, and pumped hydro projects, aiming to deploy 2.5–3.5 GW of capacity.
Investing in energy storage helps Spain meet its climate goals. This includes achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Storing renewable energy instead of wasting it helps the country rely less on fossil fuels. This also cuts down greenhouse gas emissions. Pumped hydro, thermal storage, and battery systems are effective technologies.
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.
