4 FAQs about Lisbon PV and energy storage policy

Why is energy storage important in Portugal?

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.

Should energy storage be democratised in Portugal?

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.

Does Portugal need a storage facility?

Portugal relies on relies primarily on hydro, thermal and interconnections to address this situation and has not considered other technologies to tackle the issue. 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.

Can storage replace thermal generation in Portugal?

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.
