By developing utility-scale energy storage at strategic locations, energy prices will become more stable, and we will become less dependent on the import of (fossil) energy. While this project will be the largest battery in Europe, much more storage capacity will be needed in the coming years.
GIGA Storage Belgium is an energy company that develops and deploys large-scale energy storage projects within the Belgian energy network. We believe that large-scale energy storage from renewable sources provides a solution to phasing out fossil fuels without compromising energy supply.
The permit application has been submitted, and we expect to commence construction in 2024. GIGA Storage aims to achieve the realization of 3 GW of battery storage in Belgium by 2030." GIGA Storage Belgium is an energy company that develops and deploys large-scale energy storage projects within the Belgian energy network.
Netherlands-based developer Giga Storage has obtained the irrevocable permit for the construction of a 600 MW/2,400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Belgium. Netherlands-based Giga Storage has obtained the irrevocable permit for the construction of a 600 MW/2,400 MWh BESS project in Belgium called the GIGA Green Turtle.
Giga Storage said it aims to deliver 5 GW of BESS projects in Europe by 2030. Projects such as the 300 MW/1,200 MWh BESS in the Delfzijl region in the Netherlands are already under development, and the company expects to announce several more projects in various European countries in the coming years.
The chosen location is located on the high-voltage line from Van Eyck to Gramme and is connected to the Dutch grid. "With these utility-scale energy storage projects, we contribute to energy security, both during and after the transition from fossil to renewable energy.
