Spain's energy ministry, MITECO, has granted construction authorisation for the Los Guájares pumped-storage project in Granada. The approval covers a plant rated at 356.93 megawatts, paired with 1.47 gigawatt hours of storage. The facility carries 23 million euros in public funding. Pumped-storage plants of this kind store energy by shifting water between levels and releasing it back to the grid when demand calls for it. The notice gives no construction timetable or named developers, so those details remain unstated.
