Stellantis and Chinese battery maker CATL will invest 4.1 billion euros ($4.33 billion) to build one of Europe's largest electric vehicle battery factories in Spain, encouraged by lower costs and government funding.
As a result, shorter duration storage options like batteries are more suitable in Spain. In Spain, over 50% of excess renewable energy occurs in periods where there is continuous excess for less than 12 hours i.e. a battery that chooses to charge on this energy would be able to discharge within 12 hours.
The first solution is battery storage systems that enable peak shift, i.e. feeding electricity into the grid at times when the wholesale price is higher, usually before and after sunset. Fortunately, the retrofitting of battery storage systems in Spain is unproblematic from a regulatory perspective.
In Spain, over 50% of excess renewable energy occurs in periods where there is continuous excess for less than 12 hours i.e. a battery that chooses to charge on this energy would be able to discharge within 12 hours. This allows batteries to charge and generate within a day.
In Spain, Stellantis group has car factories in Zaragoza, Vigo and Madrid. The production of electric vehicles in Spain has risen from just 16,000 models in 2019 to 323,000 in 2023, but that is still 13% of the total output of 2.4 million vehicles produced, according to ANFAC, the Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers.
Spanish wholesale markets have offered increasing revenues due to recent price volatility which rewards BESS through power trading. However, sustained investment in batteries will be supported by fully opening up markets.
