The country’s Ministry of Environment and Energy has launched a competition for €99.75 million (US$107 million) for grid-scale energy storage projects at the transmission and distributed-scale.
Storage will play a pivotal role if the country hopes to achieve its solar and renewable installation goals, it says. Portugal’s geographical isolation at the western edge of Europe and grid connection issues are hindering the deployment of renewables in the country, according to the latest report by UK-based consulting firm GlobalData.
Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal’s installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year. However, this paradigm is about to change with the democratisation of energy storage solutions through wind and solar production.
