Three Spanish factories now run 62.5 MWh of batteries beside 34 MWp of solar - the first three of ten in a 366 MWh job
Turbo Energy says 62.5 MWh of battery storage is in normal commercial operation at three industrial sites in Spain - ECO Porcelánico, Compacglass and TAU Porcelánico - next to 34 MWp of operating solar. They are the first three of 10 factories in a $53 million contract for 366 MWh, part of ceramic group Pamesa's net zero program. No savings figure is published.
A factory battery is easy to announce and hard to finish. This one says it has crossed the line that matters: the boxes are wired in, tested and running on real production days.
Turbo Energy said on 6 October 2026 that 62.5 MWh of battery storage it supplied is now fully operational at three industrial sites in Spain: ECO Porcelánico, Compacglass and TAU Porcelánico. The company says the systems have finished installation, commissioning and testing and are in normal commercial operation. Across the three sites they sit alongside 34 MWp of installed, operating solar (MWp is the panels' peak rating).
These are the first three of 10 factories under a $53 million contract to supply and install 366 MWh of battery storage. The three sites form part of Pamesa Net Zero, an energy program being built across the plants of Pamesa Grupo Empresarial, which Turbo describes as one of Europe's leading ceramic manufacturing groups. Turbo delivered more than 130 MWh of batteries for the job in the first half of 2026. The rest of that delivered stock is still being installed and commissioned, and is not counted in the 62.5 MWh.
Workplace meaning first. A factory buys power all day and makes its own only while the sun is up. Software decides when to store solar, when to take power from the grid and when to run the plant off the box. Turbo says its control software weighs live and forecast electricity prices, weather forecasts, expected solar output, the factory's predicted demand, the battery's state and the site's operating limits. That is the job: lunchtime solar in, used later when grid power is dear or the plant needs it.
Simple arithmetic on the published sizes: 62.5 MWh against 34 MWp is a bit under two hours of the arrays' peak output held back for later. And 62.5 MWh is about 17% of the 366 MWh contract.
Analogy: a bakery that bakes at dawn and sells all day. The battery is the shelf. The software is the person deciding which tray goes out when.
The only performance figure published so far is carbon. Turbo says the three sites have avoided 421 tonnes of CO2 since the first systems started in July 2026. There is no money figure: no bill saving, no demand-charge cut, no payback.
Good: Real factories, named sites, named sizes, and the batteries are running under production loads, not sitting in a yard. The control inputs are spelled out.
Bad: No savings number of any kind. Seven of the 10 factories are not yet running on it, and Turbo says that timing depends on construction readiness, permits, testing and customer acceptance.
Ugly: This is not an arm's-length buy. Turbo says the wider Pamesa project is developed by Umbrella Global Energy, Turbo's parent company, through another of its subsidiaries, IM2 Energía Solar. The supplier and the developer share a parent, and the one doing the reporting is a Nasdaq-listed supplier. A factory treating this as a reference site starts from meter data from the bill and interval data the site already has, not the press release.
