Portugal is seeking to promote flexibility and balance its power system with energy storage as it continues to break records for solar energy production. To this end, the country''s Ministry of Energy announced on
Portugal set a record for solar deployment in 2024, installing 1.77 GW and surpassing the previous year''s total. The country''s cumulative installed PV capacity now stands at 5.66 GW, as it works
Máté Heisz, Global Affairs Director of SolarPower Europe, pointed out that in 2023, the newly installed capacity of solar power in Europe reached 55.9GW, a 40% increase
An auction for solar-plus-storage held in Israel by the country''s Electricity Authority (PUA) awarded 609MW of solar PV alongside 2.4GWh of energy storage. The tender process concluded shortly before the end of 2020,
Tender designs have traditionally used the "minimum price" criteria, largely due to its simplicity and its effectiveness in delivering low prices. However, more recently, some countries have taken more holistic approaches
Capacity payments that solar-plus-storage developers could earn from winning in Portugal''s big 700MW solar tender are an interesting first step, but will likely only be a supplementary income to add to what could be

An auction for 700MW of grid energy capacity in Portugal is being configured to allow bids from solar and also solar-plus-storage projects to participate on a competitive basis, with guaranteed payments for energy
Portugal renewable energy market, worth USD 13-14 Bn, aims for 80% renewable share by 2030, fueled by solar PV expansion, offshore wind projects, and energy storage advancements.
Portugal aims to be carbon neutral by 2050, intending to reduce CO2 emissions (without LULUCF) by 17% by 2030, from 2005 levels. According to the Government of Portugal (2019b),
Thanks to two successful solar tenders, the Portuguese photovoltaic (PV) market is experiencing a surge in large-scale projects. Both solar tenders were very successful in attracting a great deal of bids and resulted in record-low bids, $0.016/kWh in July 2019 and $0.0132/kWh in July 2020, according to Portuguese financial newspaper Expresso.
This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and stability of Portugal's power supply system amid its record-breaking solar electricity production. On July 31, the ministry announced the allocation of €99.75 million through a call for tenders to install energy storage projects totaling 500 MW.
The company’s six solar projects are expected to be completed in 2024. Portugal is only realising one solar auction in 2020 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2021, however, the government is looking to carry out two per year, awarding a total capacity of 1GW per annum.
The Portuguese Government came into this auction expecting to obtain 33.5 thousand euros per MWh, but the winners ended up paying to 37.1 thousand euros per MWh to the system. Also, the World record for the lowest output price was broken once again with a bid of €0.0112/kWh. In Spain, the development of solar energy started earlier.
The strategy includes a target of 20.4 GW of operational PV systems by 2030, comprising 14.9 GW of large-capacity plants and 5.5 GW of decentralized generation. Additionally, Portugal has launched its first tender for biomethane and green hydrogen as part of this comprehensive energy strategy.
Particularly in solar, there has been a significant reduction of costs associated with PV technology since 2017 which, alongside with the high level of predictability of solar resources, has led to an increase of the number of requests for energy production licenses in Portugal.
