4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Lisbon energy storage"

Why is storage important in Portugal?

Storage provides real-time flexibility, enabling participation in balancing markets and maintaining grid stability and inertia, especially in Portugal where these markets are growing. Despite the increase in interconnection capacity between Spain and Portugal, it could experience congestions during non-solar hours.

How has Lisbon's storage policy changed over the past 18 months?

Policy has moved just as fast. In the past 18 months Lisbon introduced a streamlined licensing code, approved €100 M in Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência grants for 43 storage projects, and is drafting a 750 MVA capacity auction to go live before January 2026.

Can storage replace thermal generation in Portugal?

The pursuit of economic viability by storage facility owners will inherently lead to charging during low-cost hours and discharging during hours that are more economically attractive. Storage can replace thermal generation in constraint markets, easing the grid and supporting Portugal's 2040 phase-out target.

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.
