Spain has launched an ambitious €700 million (around $796 million) program to increase its energy storage capacity. This plan will add 2.5 to 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of storage. It includes pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, and battery systems.. 24 June 2025, MADRID — Global energy storage owner-operator BW ESS and Getxo-based energy storage developer Ibersun have signed a joint venture to develop, in its first phase, 2.2GW of utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across Spain. The goal is to improve how Spain uses renewable energy. . The Spanish National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) sets a target of 76 GW of photovoltaic capacity by 2030, including 19 GWac from self-consumption and 57 GWac from large-scale projects. By mid-2024, Spain's total installed photovoltaic capacity surpassed 40 GW, with approximately 3 GW of new. . A city where sunlight fuels not just tapas bars but also massive "water batteries" hidden in mountains. Welcome to Madrid's energy landscape, where solar power and energy storage solutions are rewriting Europe's renewable playbook. With Spain aiming for 22.5GW of energy storage by 2030 [8], Madrid.
