In Southern Europe, there is a growing interest in co-locating solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants with energy storage systems. This trend is driven by the increasing frequency of grid curtailments and negative pricing for solar PV, which makes energy storage a valuable asset for managing supply and demand1.Recently, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has financed the construction of 17 solar photovoltaic power plants in Southern Europe, with a total capacity of 1.7 GW. This financing is part of a larger effort to enhance solar capacity in the region2. Additionally, the overall battery storage capacity in Europe is expected to grow significantly, with estimates of at least 22.4 GWh being added in 20243.These developments highlight the importance of energy storage in supporting the integration of renewable energy sources in Southern Europe.
