Renewable energies are inevitably vulnerable to variations in availability, since the sun and the wind cannot be programmed. Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal’s installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year.
Power generation capacity is around 22GW. Minister of Environment and Energy Maria da Graça Carvalho said: “This is a significant step towards Portugal’s energy independence and towards building a greener and more sustainable energy future.
Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal’s installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year. However, this paradigm is about to change with the democratisation of energy storage solutions through wind and solar production.
The pursuit of economic viability by storage facility owners will inherently lead to charging during low-cost hours and discharging during hours that are more economically attractive. Storage can replace thermal generation in constraint markets, easing the grid and supporting Portugal’s 2040 phase-out target.
