Project Overview

The Canary Islands government has announced a public consultation on a new energy storage installation planned for San Agustín, Gran Canaria. The project, proposed by Naos Energy IX, S.L., involves establishing:

• a 7MW battery energy storage system

• stabilize local power supplies.

Project Details

The installation will occupy about 1,000 square meters and will include:

• eight storage containers
• transformers
• infrastructure for energy evacuation via underground 820-meter-long cable.

The project, valued at over 4.2 million euros, also includes:

• an environmental impact assessment.

Public Engagement

Authorities are opening a 30-day window for public review and comments, allowing residents and interested parties to examine the project plans at the local energy office.

Broader Context

This initiative reflects broader efforts to:

• modernize the Canary Islands’ energy grid
• boost renewable energy use
• promote sustainability.

Purpose of Public Consultation

This public consultation offers residents the chance to:

• stay informed
• provide feedback on a project set to enhance energy resilience in the region.
