Norway’s poor lighting conditions, residential PV and energy storage development are limited, the future market may mainly focus on the outlying island microgrid. Spain will install 242 MW of energy storage in 2023 and is expected to increase to 5.8 GW by 2030.
Grid-side energy storage projects in Belgium have good prospects, thanks to low grid charges, no double charging policies, and diversified revenue sources. In 2023, 11 new battery projects in Belgium have been awarded capacity market contracts, totaling more than 363 MW.
We focus on pumped hydro and battery storage, as the former is currently the most spread energy storage technology in Europe (European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy, 2022), and as the latter is leading in terms of capacity additions (George and Shai Hassid, 2021).
We propose a contractual setup, the proxy storage power purchase agreement (PPA), to foster the deployment of energy storage technologies. We define a threshold price below which the PPA becomes financially attractive for PPA buyers. We compute the threshold price for several storage technologies and configurations, in seven European countries.
