Portugal's second solar auction has closed with record-breaking low prices of €11.14/MWh (US$13.12), or US$0./kWh, the country's government announced yesterday. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh.. The government of Portugal has announced plans to invest €400 million (US$466 million) to improve its grid management capabilities and increase its battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity. Energy and environment minister Maria da Graca Carvalho announced the plans with local press this week. . Portugal will invest $480 M (€400 M) to strengthen grid stability and scale battery storage, aiming for 750 MW of BESS capacity after Iberian blackout. Portugal: Portugal has unveiled a $480 M (€400 M) investment package to modernise its electricity grid and significantly expand battery energy. . Government outlines €400 million plan to strengthen grid resilience after April blackout. Portugal will launch a competitive tender for 750 MVA of battery energy storage before January 2026, as part of a broader €400 million package aimed at improving grid reliability and preventing future. . When renewables supplied roughly 80% of Portugal's electricity in July 2025, prices in the wholesale market briefly slid below zero—great for generators selling excess electrons, confusing for consumers who still paid standard tariffs.
