Iberdrola will strengthen Spain’s energy storage capacity by installing six BESS facilities with a total capacity of 150MW.
The project will span the regions of Castile and León, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia and will help integrate renewable energy into the national grid.
Each of the six batteries will have an output of 25MW and a storage capacity of 50 megawatt hours.
It uses lithium-ion technology, known for its efficiency, maturity, and cost-effectiveness.
The BESS installation will operate as a hybrid system in combination with a solar energy source, allowing both the solar power plant and the battery to share the same connection point.
These projects are recognized as strategic projects for economic recovery and transformation within the country’s renewable energy, green hydrogen and storage sectors.

At the Revilla Vallejera plant in Burgos, Castile and León, the company will start operating its first hybrid wind-solar power plant in 2023, where one of the batteries will be installed.
The state of Extremadura will receive two batteries located in the state of Cáceres next to the existing C Arañuelo I and II solar power plants.
Castilla-La Mancha also plans to install two batteries in the municipalities of Valverdejo in Alarcon and Olmedilla de Alarcon in Cuenca, where Iberdrola already operates solar parks.
The final battery project will be built in Huelva, Puebla de Guzman, where the Andevaro solar power plant is located.
In June 2023, Iberdrola secured a €1 billion ($1.08 billion) loan from the European Investment Bank to support Europe’s energy transition.
The company plans to build a network of 19 solar farms and three onshore wind farms in Spain, Portugal and Germany.
