Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems. From ESS News Spain's Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE) has issued a provisional funding proposal for the. . The government of Spain has chosen the 143 energy storage projects that will receive capex support from an EU-backed scheme, totalling nearly 9GWh of capacity. Spain had 88MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 2,500MW by 2030. These systems make renewable energy production more flexible; and therefore help us to guarantee its integration into the Spanish electricity. .
