Licensing Of Storage Facilities

In the wake of the amendment of Decree-Law no. 15/2022, of January 14, by Decree-Law no. 99/2024, of December 3, which clarified some concepts in the storage regime, Order no. 1859/2025 was published on February 10, establishing the procedures to be adopted in the context of the licensing requests for storage installations ("Order").

In addition to laying down technical rules that storage facilities must comply with, as well as making them subject to the provision of system services, this Order addresses the main difficulty in implementing storage facilities - the allocation of injection capacity in the Public Grid- by ruling both the alteration (conversion) of a solar photovoltaic power plants into autonomous storage and the use of the grid injection capacity already awarded to power plants.
