What is compressed air energy storage?
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.
What is Portugal's power generation capacity?
Power generation capacity is around 22GW. Minister of Environment and Energy Maria da Graça Carvalho said: “This is a significant step towards Portugal’s energy independence and towards building a greener and more sustainable energy future.
