Does Engie have a Bess project in Belgium?
Engie is also developing two other BESS projects in Belgium which already have permits in place, a 100-MW/400-MWh project in Kallo and a 80-MW/320-MWh battery in Drogenbos. The company targets 10 GW of battery capacity globally by 2030. At the end of 2023, it had 1.3 GW of battery capacity in operation and 3.6 GW secured under development.
How long did it take Engie to complete a Bess project?
Remarkably, ENGIE finished the project in about 16 months, two months ahead of its internal schedule. The project milestone also comes as the energy company continues development of the Drogenbos BESS at its power station in Flemish Brabant. ENGIE built the Vilvoorde BESS to provide key grid flexibility.
How does Engie benefit from a Bess project?
BESS projects in the country benefit from favorable permitting and long-term revenue mechanisms. ENGIE's long-term contract with Elia provides a stable revenue base, easing finance and operation risks. Meanwhile, the government's capacity market (CRM) further incentivizes storage for grid reliability.
How much battery storage capacity does Engie have in Belgium?
By Q4 2027, Engie will operate 380 MW / 1.5 GWh of battery storage capacity in Belgium, supporting security of supply and grid stability.”
