The Energy Storage Strategy is part of the set of actions aimed at achieving the objectives established in the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2020 (PNIEC) and the Long-Term Decarbonisation Strategy.

The PNIEC requires specific strategies to correctly identify the challenges and opportunities and to design the most appropriate measures in key technologies and vectors for the achievement of the energy and climate objectives, as well as to take advantage of the opportunities for the generation of economic activity, employment and competitive industrial development that the energy transition may entail.

Along these lines, it has identified energy storage as one of the key tools to provide flexibility to the electricity system in order to support significant growth in renewable generation, as well as to contribute to the management of electricity networks, the participation of citizens in the change of the energy model and greater competition and integration in the electricity market.
