Nara Capital, a leader in sustainable investments, is excited to announce the expansion of its portfolio to include large-scale energy storage projects, responding to the rapid growth in battery technologies and the increasing need for capacity markets to support grid stability and renewable energy integration.
With the global transition to renewable energy accelerating, Nara Capital is actively investing in the development of advanced energy storage solutions. As renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power become a larger part of the energy mix, the demand for efficient storage systems to balance supply and demand is growing. The firm’s new energy storage initiative will focus on battery storage technologies that provide long-term, scalable solutions to store excess energy and deliver power during peak demand periods.
“The rise in renewable energy generation, coupled with the increasing reliance on intermittent energy sources, highlights the critical need for energy storage solutions,” said Josep Magdalena, CEO of Nara Capital. “Our investment strategy is focused on advancing large-scale battery storage projects that not only support the grid but also drive the market toward a more sustainable, reliable, and flexible energy future.”
Energy storage systems, particularly battery technologies, are crucial in addressing the intermittency challenges associated with renewable energy. These systems enable the storage of excess energy generated during times of low demand and its release when demand peaks, improving grid reliability and reducing the need for fossil fuel-based backup power. As the cost of battery storage continues to decrease, Nara Capital sees an opportunity to scale up storage capacity and support the growing need for clean, reliable energy.
The global trend in battery technology is evolving rapidly, with lithium-ion batteries leading the way. However, new innovations in solid-state batteries and other advanced technologies are poised to further revolutionize energy storage capabilities. Nara Capital is strategically investing in both established and emerging battery solutions to create a diversified portfolio of storage assets that can support long-term grid stability.
As the energy landscape evolves, there is an increasing call for capacity markets—mechanisms that ensure there is enough reliable energy available during peak periods. Nara Capital’s energy storage projects are designed to address this gap by providing grid operators with flexible and reliable capacity, allowing for better integration of renewable resources and enhancing the overall resilience of the power grid.
“We believe that energy storage is the key to unlocking the full potential of renewable energy and ensuring a reliable, sustainable energy system,” added Miguel Eguizábal, Partner of Nara. “Our growing investment in storage solutions is designed to not only support the grid but also contribute to the broader shift towards decarbonization and energy independence.”
Through this expansion into energy storage, Nara Capital aims to develop a comprehensive portfolio that addresses both the growing demand for storage and the need for more flexible and reliable capacity markets. The firm is working closely with energy providers, technology developers, and policymakers to accelerate the deployment of battery storage solutions and contribute to a clean, resilient energy future.
