System integrator NHOA Energy will provide Spanish transmission system operator (TSO) Red Eléctrica with 140MW/105MWh of BESS for two separate storage-as-transmission projects on the Balaeric Islands.

Developer Rolwind has won a favourable environmental impact assessment (EIA) result for a 200MW/800MWh BESS in Spain, the first standalone one to do so and the largest in the country, it claimed.

India and Spain both saw major developments in their respective pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) sectors yesterday (26 September).

The Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition has passed a royal decree which updates the country’s NECP targets between 2023-2030.

South Korea-based H2, Inc will deploy a 1.1MW/8.8MWh vanadium flow battery (VFB) in Spain in a government-funded project.

The Council of Menorca, one of Spain’s Balaeric islands, has detailed its energy transition plan for the next four years including 18MWh of distributed battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO) has published the regulatory basis for the €750 million (US$812 million) incentive scheme for renewables and energy storage manufacturing.

The Spanish government has progressed plans to launch a competitive auction for renewable generation and energy storage in two regions where coal plants have been retired, totalling 829MW of capacity.

For many years now, Spain has been one of the leading European markets for solar PV but has yet to meet the same outcome for energy storage. Sungrow has high expectations for this to happen in the coming years.

What is thought to be the largest vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) at a solar farm in Europe has been switched on by Enel Green Power in Mallorca, Spain.
