4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Portugal hybrid energy storage project"

How many hybrid storage projects are being deployed in Portugal?

Additional hybrid capacity is being deployed, namely by Iberdrola, Greenvolt, Akuo, EDP and GALP, supported by Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) programme under the “Flexibility and Storage” incentive call. Under this PRR scheme, 41 projects were approved, totalling around 500 MW of new storage capacity and € 99.75 million in grants.

How many MW of solar & battery energy will Endesa's Pego cluster have?

Lightsource bp is planning an 867 MWp solar and 300 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project and Endesa's Pego Cluster would feature 360 MW of wind capacity, 330 MW of solar, and 168.6 MW/337 MWh of storage. The Portuguese Environment Agency's Participa portal currently features two big renewables-plus-battery project proposals.

Is Europe ready for energy storage?

Europe is expected to deploy over 90 GWh of utility-scale battery energy storage projects by 2030, and we are well positioned to support this demand along with the wider EMEA region's rapid energy storage growth,” said Powin CEO, Jeff Waters.

Why should Portugal invest in Omexom?

Gonçalo Sampaio, Managing Director of Omexom Portugal, said the projects represent an important step in reinforcing Portugal's renewable infrastructure. He highlighted Omexom's role in ensuring technically robust execution and long-term safe operation of the storage systems.
