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.
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.
Between 1 January and 31 October 2023, 35,152 GWh of electricity were generated on the Portuguese mainland, of which 67.8 per cent came from renewable sources. The storage will be decisive for the long-awaited energy transition.
Their simulations show that combining solar, wind and at least four hours of battery storage can meet Portuguese demand in 94 % of hours across an average year; add pumped hydro and that rises above 99 %. The remaining gap could be filled by green hydrogen or demand-response contracts that pay factories to pause production when clouds linger.
The future of Portugal''s power grid lies not only in generating more clean energy but in managing it intelligently. Storage is both the brain and the muscle of this new grid. The €100 million
