Galp, a Portuguese energy company, has announced plans to build a 5 MW/20 MWh battery storage system in Portugal, in collaboration with Powin. The system at one of Galp’s solar plants will enable it to adjust its PV production profile and meet its energy requirements. This project marks Powin’s first venture in Europe.
This project marks Powin’s first venture in Europe. Global energy storage supplier Powin LLC and Portuguese integrated energy company Galp have partnered to install a utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Algarve, Portugal. The 5 MW/20 MWh battery system will be built at one of Galp’s solar power plants near the village of Alcoutim.
“Batteries also add to the competitiveness of our renewable energy portfolio by making solar and wind power available when they are most needed.” Large-scale energy storage projects in Portugal have been relatively small in number, although 2022 saw the inauguration of a 40GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project by utility Iberdrola.
