Asociación Española de Almacenamiento de Energía

What Asociación Española de Almacenamiento de Energía does

Asociación Española de Almacenamiento de Energía (ASEALEN) is a Madrid-based non-profit trade association founded in 2020 to represent the Spanish energy storage sector. It aggregates 45+ member companies spanning the storage value chain, including energy storage project promoters, battery and thermal storage manufacturers, renewable energy generators, transmission and distribution operators, infrastructure investors, and engineering firms. The association does not sell commercial software or products; it instead delivers membership-based services comprising regulatory advocacy, technical and legal advisory, industry coordination, networking events, and representation before Spanish and European administrations.

ASEALEN's operating model is funded by member company contributions, with the principal revenue drivers being membership dues and event sponsorship. Membership-free visibility is consistent with a typical industry association, though the underlying fee structure is undisclosed. Go-to-market is direct-to-enterprise through association membership, while downstream marketing and dissemination channels include the asealen.es website, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, sponsored industry conferences (GENERA, RENMAD, Solar & Storage Live), webinars, and earned media placements in publications including Energética, PV Magazine, and Energías Renovables. The association is governed by an elected General Assembly, with leadership currently held by President Dolores Sánchez (Alpiq) since June 2, 2026, succeeding founding President Yann Dumont (Reolum); a dedicated Director (Raúl García Posada, appointed May 2021) manages day-to-day executive functions, and law firm Cuatrecasas serves as Secretary General.

The association's core focus is on removing structural barriers to storage project development in Spain. Its advocacy has shaped the National Energy Storage Hydraulic Program (PNAHE), the creation of the Subdirección General de Almacenamiento y Flexibilidad within MITERD, the EU-approved Spanish capacity mechanism (up to €9 billion over the next decade), and the unblocking of €5.3 billion in reversible pumping investments. ASEALEN formalised cross-border reach via a May 2021 collaboration agreement with the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE), allowing it to coordinate with the Brussels-based body on information exchange, joint working groups, and mutual event support.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE): Brussels-based pan-European storage industry association representing the European energy storage value chain. Direct peer — ASEALEN has a formal collaboration agreement with EASE, sharing information exchange, working groups, and event support.
• AEPIBAL (Asociación Empresarial de Pilas, Baterías y Almacenamiento): Spanish battery and storage industry association. Direct peer operating in the same Spanish storage advocacy space with overlapping member companies and policy objectives.

Regional players

• Energy Storage Canada: Canadian national energy storage industry association. Comparable association model in a different geography — useful reference for trade-association operating practices, though not directly competing in Spain.
• ANPER (Asociación Nacional de Productores y Operadores de Energías Renovables): Spanish association of renewable energy producers and operators. Adjacent regional peer with overlapping advocacy on storage integration, grid access, and renewable-plus-storage project deployment.

Broad incumbents

• UNEF (Unión Española Fotovoltaica): Spanish photovoltaic solar energy association. Comparable function for the solar sector and frequently co-advocates with ASEALEN on hybrid renewable-plus-storage projects and grid access barriers.
• SolarPower Europe: European solar industry association based in Brussels. Adjacent peer — overlaps on hybrid solar-plus-storage advocacy and engages the same EU policy institutions that ASEALEN accesses via EASE.
• AEE (Asociación de Empresas de Energía Eléctrica): Spanish electricity industry association representing the broader electric power value chain. Adjacent peer — overlaps on storage, flexibility, and grid regulation topics and engages with similar regulatory stakeholders.
• APPA (Asociación de Productores de Energías Renovables): Spain's main renewable energy producers association. Adjacent peer — represents a broader renewables umbrella under which storage is increasingly a sub-topic, sometimes aligning or competing with ASEALEN on policy positions.

Others

• Cluster de la Energía de la Comunidad de Madrid: Madrid-region energy cluster bringing together utilities, technology providers, and project developers. Local ecosystem peer — co-located with ASEALEN's headquarters and partially overlapping membership in the Spanish storage ecosystem.
• ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity): Association of European transmission system operators including Spain's REE. Stakeholder rather than direct peer — ASEALEN engages with ENTSO-E members on storage integration and grid flexibility matters.
