Portugal Battery Storage Boom Lures Foreign
Portugal''s battery storage boom steadies prices, slashes blackouts and opens tech roles. Discover how new policies could reshape your power bill.
Portugal has awarded grant support to around 500MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, using EU Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) funding, a bloc-wide scheme that has supported energy storage across the continent.
Portugal: Portugal has unveiled a $480 M (€400 M) investment package to modernise its electricity grid and significantly expand battery energy storage systems (BESS), following a major Iberian blackout earlier this year.
Portugal currently has only 13 MW of operational BESS capacity but aims to scale to 750 MW. A notable step includes Galp's 5 MW / 20 MWh project launched in April, developed by Powin. An additional $114 M (€100 M) from the EU's Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) will fund 500 MW of BESS across 43 selected projects.
Greenvolt and Galp have both deployed 5MW BESS projects in Portugal in the past. In eastern Europe, Moldova is in the process of completing a bidding process for the procurement of a 75MW BESS and 22MW internal combustion engine (ICE) project, called the Moldova Energy Security Project (MESA).
