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. A total of 79 applications were vying for grant support secured under the country’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).
(Montel) Portugal’s recently elected government presented its legislative programme late on Wednesday, with the green transition one of its strategic pillars, including the launch of a strategy to boost energy storage by 2026.
One of the new cabinet’s priorities for its four-year term would be a national energy storage strategy for 2026 to accelerate investment in battery storage for wind and solar photovoltaic plants, it said.
As Portugal launched its first tender for biomethane and green hydrogen, Portugal's new energy strategy aims to produce 80% renewable electricity by 2026, and 85% by 2030. The Plan sets a target of 20.4 GW of operational PV systems in 2030, including 14.9 GW of large-capacity plants and 5.5GW of decentralized generation.
Portugal’s high share of intermittent renewables poses challenges for grid stability. Balancing supply and demand, especially during peak generation periods, requires advanced grid management and energy storage solutions. The event will provide companies and industry leaders with the following opportunities:
