Meriting mention is El Carrascal project, in the municipality of Hornachuelos, with 110 MW of electrical power and 6 hours of storage, which will provide electricity from renewable sources even when there is no solar resource. This project will create some 500 jobs during the construction phase and then another 50 stable jobs during the lifetime of the facility for its operation and maintenance.
The penetration of renewable energy sources is accompanied by the inherent intermittency of this type of resource, and there is therefore a decoupling between the time of its generation and its consumption. The storage and subsequent dispatch of energy when it is really needed is the solution that will allow the definitive accommodation of renewable energies in our lives.
