The pursuit of economic viability by storage facility owners will inherently lead to charging during low-cost hours and discharging during hours that are more economically attractive. Storage can replace thermal generation in constraint markets, easing the grid and supporting Portugal's 2040 phase-out target.
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.
Storage provides real-time flexibility, enabling participation in balancing markets and maintaining grid stability and inertia, especially in Portugal where these markets are growing. Despite the increase in interconnection capacity between Spain and Portugal, it could experience congestions during non-solar hours.
Additional hybrid capacity is being deployed, namely by Iberdrola, Greenvolt, Akuo, EDP and GALP, supported by Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) programme under the “Flexibility and Storage” incentive call. Under this PRR scheme, 41 projects were approved, totalling around 500 MW of new storage capacity and € 99.75 million in grants.
