Synchronous Condenser-Paired BESS Projects in Spain
Sector: Geothermal • Location: Álora and Tarifa, Andalusia, Spain
Source: Energy-Storage.News
Engie has acquired two large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Spain, paired with synchronous condensers. The projects total 278MW/1.1GWh capacity, located in Andalusia at Álora (78MW/312MWh) and Tarifa (200MW/800MWh). These systems provide inertia and reactive power services, replacing legacy gas and thermal plant functions.
