4 FAQs about [Large-scale energy storage projects in Portugal]

How many hybrid storage projects are being deployed in Portugal?

Additional hybrid capacity is being deployed, namely by Iberdrola, Greenvolt, Akuo, EDP and GALP, supported by Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) programme under the “Flexibility and Storage” incentive call. Under this PRR scheme, 41 projects were approved, totalling around 500 MW of new storage capacity and € 99.75 million in grants.

Can solar power meet Portuguese demand?

Their simulations show that combining solar, wind and at least four hours of battery storage can meet Portuguese demand in 94 % of hours across an average year; add pumped hydro and that rises above 99 %. The remaining gap could be filled by green hydrogen or demand-response contracts that pay factories to pause production when clouds linger.

Why should Portugal invest in Omexom?

Gonçalo Sampaio, Managing Director of Omexom Portugal, said the projects represent an important step in reinforcing Portugal's renewable infrastructure. He highlighted Omexom's role in ensuring technically robust execution and long-term safe operation of the storage systems.

Is Europe ready for energy storage?
