Why is energy storage important in Portugal?Renewable energies are inevitably vulnerable to variations in availability, since the sun and the wind cannot be programmed. Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal’s installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year.
Should energy storage be democratised in Portugal?Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal’s installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year. However, this paradigm is about to change with the democratisation of energy storage solutions through wind and solar production.
