According to the EY Infrastructure Compass 2025: The development of batteries and other energy storage systems in Spain, the country is developing around 16 GW of BESS projects through 2030, or about 29% of the 55 GW estimated globally. Energy storage systems in Spain are a key element in the fight against climate change, as they help us to address the challenge of the energy transition. These systems make renewable energy production more flexible; and therefore help us to guarantee its integration into the Spanish electricity. Spain ranks second worldwide, after the United States, in the development of battery energy storage systems (BESS), according to EY's new Infrastructure Compass 2025 report. Robust grid management Spain's transmission operator (REE) built Europe's most sophisticated renewable energy control centre (CECRE), which features:. Spain's Ambitious Energy Storage InitiativeSpain is charging ahead with one of Europe's most ambitious energy storage initiatives! The country's groundbreaking battery storage program has exceeded its original €700 million budget, growing to €840 million ($964 million) to support a massive storage. Target: Storage capacity in Spain is set to grow to 22. 5 GW by 2030 and 30 GW by 2050, covering daily, weekly, and seasonal storage.
