BESS stands to benefit from the current market dynamics, capitalizing on the opportunity to store energy during low-price periods and release it when prices peak. This arbitrage revenue could redefine the investment landscape for storage in Spain, turning a significant solar challenge into a catalyst for batteries.
Amidst this backdrop of challenges, a hidden opportunity emerges for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Spain and Portugal, trailing behind their European counterparts in BESS regulation, now have a chance to leap forward.
Spain's regulatory framework for BESS is set in its Strategy for Energy Storage. The Strategy identifies the required regulatory measures – such as grid access, market structure, and addressing double tolling – that are currently needed to ensure the deployment of a solid energy storage market.
According to BloombergNEF, the total capacity currently in the BESS pipeline is around 3GW. However, Red Electrica's (the Spanish TSO) registry of requested connection capacity, shows that accumulated requests add up to 22.1GW.
Grid-wise, Spain (and the Iberian Peninsula) has a very limited interconnection capacity with the Central Europe network. It is currently close to 3000MW, resulting in a 1.9% cross-border capacity ratio, which is far from the 15% that the European Commission set as a target for 2030.
