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.
Their simulations show that combining solar, wind and at least four hours of battery storage can meet Portuguese demand in 94 % of hours across an average year; add pumped hydro and that rises above 99 %. The remaining gap could be filled by green hydrogen or demand-response contracts that pay factories to pause production when clouds linger.
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.
