In the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 Spanish, it is expected that, for the management of the electric demand in 2030, an additional storage capacity of 2.5 GW equivalent power will be stored in batteries, as well as 3.5 extra GW Hydraulic Pumps.
In the PNIEC, important honor (4,248 GWH) are already spilled, despite the recording of 1,375 MW of new storage capacity.
Likewise, the discharges could be increased by 2030 to 13,776 GWH with an increase in storage compared to the current situation of 6,000 MW. This reflects the need to count, both in the period of validity of the PNIEC and beyond, with storage systems that can store energy for several hours, days or months.
That is why it is important that a strategy and regulatory framework is assumed that the inclusion of the services of the Storage technologies And the correct reward for these services.
The aim of this position document is to present the vision of the wind sector with regard to the development and use of storage technologies in our country, with special emphasis on batteries since then because of the intrinsic characteristics of wind facilities and their generation, the storage that could be better supplemented with wind farms, taking into account their versatility and being able to find physical facilities, are batteries.
In the long term, with larger penetrations of variable renewable energy, other types of storage will probably be necessary to solve the problems related to their nature that cannot be solved with an adequate combination of renewable technologies (including hybridizations), energy – Efficiency and demand management and demand management.
The first storage zone card in Spain is presented for the first time
The Wind Business Association (AEEE) is celebrating a new edition of the ‘Wind and Market’ day, with the participation of more than 225 experts who analyze important issues, such as the use of storage, auctions and PPAs, acceleration of industry in the industry in the industry the various CCAA, herpowering, processing of wind projects and social management of projects, including.
Wind is the first technology in electricity generation in Spain and has already installed more than 32 GW in the country. It is necessary to speed up the installation speed of the new wind energy and to increase the electrical demand, to make the question of the capacity of renewable generation.
Day ‘wind and market’ 2025. Storage and territory
The wind sector is committed to accelerating electrification and the increase in processing processes as priorities to promote the energy transition. The first storage zone card in Spain is presented for the first time.
The year 2025 is presented with new challenges for the progress in the direction of a sustainable and competitive energy seeking. Wind is an important piece to reach carbon.
We have an industry that covered 100% of the value chain in Spain for land wind and 75% for marine wind. The contribution to GDP of the wind sector reaches 3,791 million euros, 0.31% of the Spanish GDP, in addition to generating a saving of 4,685 million in electricity prices for consumers.
With more than 35,700 professionals and 287 industrial centers spread in 16 autonomous communities, Spain has the opportunity to maintain a privileged position worldwide.
However, To achieve the goal of the National Energy and Climate (PNIEC) of 62 GW installed in 2030, it is essential to speed up the new capacity installation.
Wind energy has currently installed more than 32 GW (at the end of January 2025). Both in 2023 and in 2024 it was installed under 1 winding, when we have to install more than 3 GW per year to meet the objectives set in the PNIEC. The rhythm of real progress of the PNIEC and the short-medium stage scenario does not make it viable to compliance as a realistic goal.
The rhythm of the new wind capacity installation is safe but slow. It is necessary to speed up the installation speed without jeopardizing other factors
One of the problems that are analyzed on the day is the implementation of European regulations. ‘From the consideration of the highest public importance from renewable energies to the carbon border-limit mechanism (CBAM) and the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), each step must be followed with precision to guarantee legal certainty and promote investments” The president of AeeIn addition to guaranteeing European industry with global capacity (made by Europe), but also for the local supply chain (made in Europe).
On this day the First destination card of storage in SpainAttending economic efficiency as a result of the study “Analysis of efficient intake of storage by nodes of the network”, carried out by Aee y CIRCEwho had the collaboration Aepibal. ‘Storage is the key to reducing conversion and to facilitate the integration of new renewable current in the system. However, it is essential that its use develops in an orderly way and always performs node analysis. Not everything fits nowhere. In this way the efficiency of the electrical system is maximized, so that the costs for citizens are minimized“says Rocio Sicre.
Carmen BecrilPresident of Grandmotherhe said during the inauguration: «The discode path of our economies (2030-2040-2050) will not be possible without greater electrification of the final energy demand and from OMIE we work with the rest of European Nemos, so that our markets help achieve this goal. The implementation in 2025 of 15 -minute products in our markets (intradiario and daily) and the ongoing process to bring the liquidity of the intradium market to real -time, will among other things a greater participation of renewable energy sources in the markets, but also a larger one Dynamics in the activation of electrical demand and all his resources«.
More challenges and priorities: Repower, storage, social and wind acceptance
Another essential aspect in the evolution of the sector is lTo restore existing wind farms. Much of the The current wind turbines are more than 20 years of operation And must be modernized to improve their efficiency and performance. However, this process must be performed in a planned way and with sufficient stimuli. Repower is a priority for energy transition, but without unnecessary interventions from public administration.
With regard to storage, your planning must focus on system efficiency and button distribution, making it a real value for network stability. Moreover, it is necessary to reopen the ability to access the electricity grid, making it possible to make more rooms possible and to reduce the pressure on all system levels.
Despite its several benefits, In some areas, the expansion of wind energy is confronted with a certain social opposition. The lack of information and ignorance about the economic and ecological benefits of the sector has generated resistance in some communities. A joint effort between administrations and companies is essential to promote transparency and to guarantee respectful development.
Floating marine wind is an opportunity that cannot be missed
Spain has set the goal of installing 3 GW Marine Wind Energy by 2030. These fundamental geographical points for the development of marine wind have strategically located ports and shipyards and with experience in innovation, and with the possibility of becoming international referees in this sector.
Investments in port infrastructure and the construction of floating platforms can stimulate the local economy, generate thousands of jobs and diversify the navy industry.
However, the lack of a clear regulatory framework remains an obstacle. The ministerial order that will regulate the first auction of marine wind energy in 2025 is crucial, so that Spain does not lose these industrial and technological opportunities. We cannot continue to take the development of marine wind on our coasts.
Wind energy is not only a future option, it is a necessity of the present. For him, Spain has the opportunity to consolidate his leadership in the wind sector and to accelerate the transfer of energy. To achieve this, a solid obligation is necessary by all the agents involved.
More than 225 professionals in the reference appointment of the wind sector
The conference program of the ‘Wind and Market Day 2025’ believes that all these issues are more than 8 sessions in which more than 40 speakers participate in an audience of more than 225 attendees.
