Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in both FTM and BTM are being adopted at an accelerated rate due to a number of challenges within the electric market and the utility grid.
According to data from Spanish solar energy association UNEF, around 495 MWh of behind-the-meter storage capacity was installed in Spain in 2023, with residential installations...
Noting the potential for batteries in self-consumption systems for homes and businesses, the strategy targets the deployment of 400MW of behind-the-meter battery storage by 2030. The
Currently, the storage available in Spain comes largely from pumped hydrogen and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, that the Spanish Government intends to replace with large-scale batteries (at
The key drivers of the behind-the-meter energy storage system market include the increasing need for energy reliability, cost savings from peak shaving, and the integration of
UNEF has carried out a study work with its associated companies to obtain the first storage data behind the meter with the aim of knowing the reality and proposing a strategy to meet
Ignacio Quiles, Managing Director of Saft''s operation in Spain, outlines how a manufacturing facility in Northern Spain has deployed a lithium-ion (Li-ion) energy storage system (ESS) ''behind the meter'' to
