Iberdrola will install six new storage batteries in Spain with 150 MW of capacity

Iberdrola will install six Battery Energy Storage Systems (SAEB) with a combined capacity of 150 MW. This is an innovative solution for the storage and integration of renewable energies into the system. Each project will generate more than 100 green jobs, including the construction and operation phases.

Battery storage technology is becoming increasingly important for maximising the use of clean energy, regulating the grid frequency to within a millisecond and providing back-up capacity during periods of peak consumption.  

The six new batteries to be built by the company have been recognised as Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) in its renewable energy, green hydrogen and storage (ERHA) division and will receive 37.5 million in funding.  

The batteries will have lithium-ion technology, the most widespread at present given its performance, technological maturity and cost ratio. These systems will be installed as hybrid technology together with renewable energy sources, in this case solar, so the photovoltaic plant and the battery will share the same connection point.
