Energy Storage Strategy

Executive

Strategy

Passed in 2021

The Strategy contemplates having a storage capacity of about 20 GW in 2030 and reaching 30 GW in 2050, considering both large-scale and distributed storage. The document identifies and analyses the challenges, defines the measures for their effective deployment, assesses the opportunities and quantifies the storage needs to contribute to the decarbonisation of the energy system.
