Why do we need energy storage systems in Spain?
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 system.
Which country has the most energy storage systems in Europe?
With more than 20,000 megawatts, Spain is the country with the largest number of energy storage systems in Europe measured by power, and has the second largest number of projects: 128 in total; second only to Germany's 169.
How does the energy sector work in Spain?
The Spanish energy sector is liberalized, meaning that you’re typically free to choose the electricity (luz) provider of your choice when setting up your utilities in Spain. You also have the option of choosing a provider from the free market (mercado libre) or the regulated market (mercado regulado).
