Electro-chemical batteries for energy storage and grid connection, beyond their good operational characteristics and the energy features, still present some barriers. The high cost for battery systems is still the main technological barrier for grid-connected applications [11], [12]. On the other hand, thermal energy storage is a promising alternative for large-scale grid …
As we mentioned in our newsletter on energy storage and its regulation published in February 2023, it is essential to continue developing the regulations on energy storage in order to contribute to a more solid legal framework for energy storage in Spain.
The previous regulation of the allocation of grid connection and feed-in permits in Spain has proven to be deficient in many respects. Essentially, economically and technically sound projects have repeatedly failed due to a lack of grids connection and feed-in permits, whereas unfeasible projects and/or speculators have occupied free capacities.
The amount of grid bonds needed to initiate the access and connection process remains at 40€ per kW of installed capacity. The deposit of the grid bond with the Spanish Government Depositary (Caja General de Depósitos) must be notified to the competent energy authorities, who must issue written confirmation of the adequacy of the grid bond.
Between December 2020 and January 2021, Spain introduced relevant changes in this process step through RD 1183/2020 and Circular 1/2021 CNMC. Project developers must submit a single application for access and connection permits, i.e., they will be processed jointly in the same procedure.
Insights Spain’s new Grid Connection Act has been adopted. There are still no internet portals of grid operators where free grid capacities could be identified. Spain’s new Grid Connection Act has been adopted. There are still no internet portals of grid operators where free grid capacities could be identified. published on 19th February 2021
Article 5.4 of the Grid Connection Act requires operators of the transmission and distribution grids to maintain web portals on which they report on the existing grid capacities at the grid points.
