BatteryPlat

What BatteryPlat does

BatteryPlat (legal name: Plataforma Tecnológica y de Innovación Española de Almacenamiento de Energía) is a Spanish non-profit technology and innovation platform founded in 2019 that coordinates Spanish stakeholders working across all energy storage modalities, including electrochemical (batteries), chemical, thermal, mechanical, and magnetic storage. The platform unites 128 member organizations spanning enterprises (e.g., EDP España, Grupo TSK, Abervian), R&D centers (CIC-Energigune, IMDEA Energía, ITE), universities, public administrations, and industry associations under a governing body (Grupo Rector). Its operational footprint is centered in Madrid (P.º de la Castellana 135) with reach across Spain and into European programs, and it operates with a staff of approximately five.

The platform's core deliverables are collaborative in nature rather than productized: working groups on sodium-ion batteries, flow batteries, thermal storage, markets, circular economy, and technology; technical studies including the BESS Li-ion Safety Study and the Energy Storage Technology Taxonomy 2024; industrial and member capability maps covering five value-chain links and four stages; and periodic technological surveillance and competitive intelligence bulletins. These outputs are designed to consolidate fragmented national efforts into a shared strategic research agenda and to channel Spanish participation into EU frameworks such as H2020 and BEPA, as well as national programs coordinated with CDTI.

The business model is membership-based, with members receiving access to working groups, project collaboration, intelligence bulletins, and networking events. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; implicit funding sources include Spanish public grants (visible support flag "Ayuda PTR2024-002925" from MICIU/AEI), member contributions, and project-related income from initiatives such as TRACA, SODIGREEN, and POSEIDON. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on working groups, events, and direct institutional engagement rather than conventional sales channels.

Core offering

BatteryPlat is a Spanish Technology and Innovation Platform for Energy Storage that unites 128 member organizations—including companies, universities, and technology centers—to coordinate efforts across all energy storage technologies (electrochemical, chemical, thermal, mechanical, and magnetic). It delivers technology surveillance bulletins, taxonomy reports, BESS safety studies, industrial capabilities mapping, and topic-specific working groups (sodium-ion, flow batteries, thermal storage, circular economy, markets) to support a shared strategic research agenda and position Spain at the global forefront of energy storage.

Product overview

BatteryPlat operates as a unified Spanish Technological and Innovation Platform for Energy Storage, bringing together 128 member organizations (companies, universities, research centers, and public entities) to advance energy storage technologies and foster innovation. The platform's core offering is its collaborative coordination infrastructure, supported by multiple sub-products: the Boletines de Vigilancia Tecnológica (technological surveillance bulletins), the Estudio de Vigilancia Tecnológica (surveillance study), the Taxonomía de Tecnologías de Almacenamiento (energy storage technology taxonomy), the Mapa de Capacidades and Mapa de Capacidades Industrial (member and industrial capability maps), Fichas de Capacidades (individual member capability profiles), Grupos de Trabajo (thematic working groups covering sodium-ion batteries, flow batteries, thermal storage, markets, and circular economy), the Estudio Técnico sobre Seguridad en Instalaciones BESS (BESS safety technical study), and a project database. These sub-products are distributed to registered members through the platform and facilitate networking, R&D collaboration, and strategic research agenda development.
