Portugal has launched a National Energy Storage Strategy aiming for 6.9 GW of installed electricity storage capacity by 2030 and 9.76 GW by 2040, about double the current capacity, focusing on pumped hydro and battery storage. The strategy complements recent reforms in grid access and capacity reservation, supporting the country's renewable energy and security of supply goals.
