The Portuguese legal framework on utility-scale energy storage
This article briefly analyses the Portuguese regulatory framework for utility-scale energy storage technologies, in order to highlight the strategies that have been followed.
Free QuoteThe configuration of a solar photovoltaic system integrating energy storage in Portugal is yet unclear in the technical, energetic and economic point of view. The energy management jointly with the battery operation have great influence in the system configuration's profitability value.
All the configurations implemented self-consumption, considered to be the current most adequate context to implement PV solar energy in Portugal in the residential sector, regarding the Portuguese legislation.
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.
Photovoltaic solar energy is consolidating as a central element of Portugal's energy strategy, thanks to the launch of large-scale plants, the arrival of key international players, and an ambitious roadmap that seeks to maximize the use of renewable resources.
