Utility and independent power producer (IPP) Iberdrola will deploy battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Spain adding up to 150MW/300MWh, to be co-located with existing PV plants. [pdf]
[FAQS about Spain bidirectional portable energy storage project]
Spain has increased its energy storage target by 2030 to 22.5GW in the latest update of its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). The Spanish government, through the Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO), has passed a royal decree that updates the country’s NECP targets between 2023-2030. [pdf]
[FAQS about Spain s new energy storage requirements]
An implementation agreement is in place between Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy, utility company Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) and a consortium of Hyundai Engineering and UGT Renewables for six new solar plants totalling 1 GW. Up to 200 MW of battery storage will be developed across the sites. [pdf]
[FAQS about Serbia distributed energy storage system battery]
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is considering mandating battery storage for new solar and wind projects, starting with 10 percent of a plant’s capacity, and gradually increasing it aligning with the decreasing battery prices, stated MNRE Secretary Prashant Kumar Singh at the CII'.
