What does Portugal's energy policy mean for the energy sector?
The Portuguese Ministry of Energy has allocated €100 million for grid flexibility and energy storage projects to be completed by the end of . This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and stability of Portugal's power supply system amid its record-breaking solar electricity production.
Should energy storage be democratised in Portugal?
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.
Why is energy storage important in Portugal?
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.
