In Belgium, the share of renewable electricity in the country's overall electricity production has risen steadily in recent years. To avoid the risk of blackouts, large-scale storage facilities associated with solar photovoltaic projects are on the increase.
Set for a grid connection in 2025 this project will deliver power to up to 96.000 households. Sungrow will supply 320 units of its cutting-edge liquid-cooled energy storage system PowerTitan for the ENGIE BESS project in Vilvoorde. The PowerTitan is an efficient, safe, and innovative storage solution that supports ENGIE to deliver energy.
Belgium's regulatory setup helps make such projects viable. 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.
The system will be one of the largest ever installed in Europe with a power capacity of 200MW/800MWh and is the first BESS project Sungrow will supply in Belgium. Set for a grid connection in 2025 this project will deliver power to up to 96.000 households.
In 2023, Belgium installed a record-breaking 2.6 GW of solar capacity, which triggered a fivefold increase in negative pricing events throughout 2024. These market dynamics created more
