FAQs about Spain barcelona energy storage power frequency regulation

How does Spain regulate electric power storage facilities?

Regulation of Electric Power Storage Facilities: In 2020, Spain introduced a specific regulation (Royal Decree 1183/2020) that defines the administrative procedures for the deployment of storage systems, including BESS. This decree aims to streamline the permitting process, addressing the complexities and delays previously encountered.

Why do we need battery energy storage systems in Spain?

Due to the large capacity of installed hydroelectric and thermal storage systems and the resilience of the Spanish power grid, the need for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Spain has been relatively low. The lack of a clear regulatory framework for BESS has also hindered its development in Spain so far.

What is Spain's regulatory framework for energy storage?

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.

Does Spain need a Bess energy system?

Currently, Spain has 6.3GW of hydroelectric and 1GW of thermal storage capacity installed. In fact, the non-BESS storage capacity in Spain is higher than in any other European country. As a result, the need for BESS to integrate renewable energy sources into the electricity system is less immediate than in the UK, for example.
