The Portuguese Ministry of Energy has allocated €99.75 million ($107.6 million) for grid flexibility and energy storage projects which should be installed by the end of 2025. Portugal is seeking to promote flexibility and balance its power system with energy storage as it continues to break records for solar energy production.
Portugal is seeking to promote flexibility and balance its power system with energy storage as it continues to break records for solar energy production. To this end, the country’s Ministry of Energy announced on Wednesday that it has allocated €99.75 million ($107.6 million) in a bid to support 500 MW of energy storage projects.
Galp, a Portuguese energy company, has announced plans to build a 5 MW/20 MWh battery storage system in Portugal, in collaboration with Powin. The system at one of Galp’s solar plants will enable it to adjust its PV production profile and meet its energy requirements. This project marks Powin’s first venture in Europe.

The country’s Ministry of Environment and Energy has launched a competition for €99.75 million (US$107 million) for grid-scale energy storage projects at the transmission and distributed-scale.
In recent years, with the proliferation of renewable power and massive hydropower capacity, Portugal has been producing more power than its actual consumption. However, having only a grid connection with Spain, the excess generated power without a robust connected energy grid or ample storage could go to waste.
“Europe is expected to implement more than 90 GWh of large-scale battery energy storage projects by 2030, and we are well positioned to support this demand and keep up with the rapid growth of energy storage in the wider European region, Middle East and Africa,” he stated. support The Portugal News by making a contribution – no matter how small
