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.
That will increase the electrical power capacity on the Portuguese grid by 6%. Iberdrola has inaugurated the 'Tâmega Gigabattery' in Portugal, a pumped hydro, hydroelectric and wind with energy storage capacity of 40GWh.
Daivões construction works. Alto Tâmega construction works. The Tâmega giga battery will provide almost 900 MW of pumping capacity to the Portuguese electricity system, which is an increase of more than 30 % compared to the megawatt capacity available to the country today.
This project marks Powin’s first venture in Europe. Global energy storage supplier Powin LLC and Portuguese integrated energy company Galp have partnered to install a utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Algarve, Portugal. The 5 MW/20 MWh battery system will be built at one of Galp’s solar power plants near the village of Alcoutim.
Portugal’s cumulative PV capacity hit 2.59 GW at the end of 2022. It aims to install 20.4 GW of solar by 2030. The country has set a goal of at least 80% of electricity production coming from renewable sources by 2050. In November, it enjoyed a weekend of being powered solely by renewables.
