This included six projects from Spain's Iberdrola, which secured nearly EUR 20 million in public funding. Portugal's Ministry of Energy has announced that it has allocated EUR 100 million ($104.2 million) to 43 energy storage projects which should be installed by the end of 2025.
Portugal's Ministry of Energy has allocated €100 million to support 43 energy storage projects, scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. These projects were selected from 79 applications under the country's Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), with eligible projects able to receive up to €30 million in funding.
Portugal has awarded grant support to around 500MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, using EU Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) funding, a bloc-wide scheme that has supported energy storage across the continent.
Portugal's updated energy plan targets 80% renewable electricity by 2026 and 85% by 2030. Marija has years of experience in a news agency environment and writing for print and online publications.

In this week's Charging Forward, Gore Street, Eku and BW ESS reach energisation at UK battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, amid warnings over an oversubscribed grid connection queue. UK energy storage developer Root-Power has secured planning consent for a 40 MW/80 MWh BESS project in Brinsworth, Rotherham.
Major developers of UK energy storage projects include EDF, Pivot Power, Statera, and RES, with each company active in several power supply and flexibility markets, providing services to National Grid, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), as well as operating in the wholesale energy markets.
The UK is one of the most attractive European countries for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) investments. It currently has the highest installed grid-scale BESS capacity in Europe and offers diverse revenue streams, supported by strong governmental and grid operator backing.
But the UK grid currently lacks the capacity to accommodate a massive renewables energy push. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), for every £1 the UK has spent on renewables it has spent only 25p on cables and power lines.
1. Introduction User-side energy storage mainly refers to the application of electrochemical energy storage systems by industrial, commercial, residential, or independent powerplant customers (which in convenience we call "firms").
Subsequently, a user-side energy storage optimization configuration model is developed, integrating demand perception and uncertainties across multi-time scale, to ensure the provision of reliable energy storage configuration services for different users. The primary contributions of this paper can be succinctly summarized as follows. 1.
Firstly, by extracting large-scale user electricity consumption data, insights into users' electricity usage patterns, peak/off-peak consumption characteristics, and seasonal variations are obtained to establish a behavioral indicator system for user-side energy storage.
A comprehensive lifecycle user-side energy storage configuration model is established, taking into account diverse profit-making strategies, including peak shaving, valley filling arbitrage, DR, and demand management. This model accurately reflects the actual revenue of energy storage systems across different seasons.
