How much energy storage does the Netherlands need?

To achieve its renewable energy targets, reports in 2021 indicate that the Netherlands will need to install between 29 and 54 gigawatts (GW) of energy storage capacity by 2050. Storage with efficient management systems and digital controls is a crucial element of a reliable, flexible and affordable energy system.

Which companies are developing GWh-scale projects in the Netherlands?

Companies developing projects in the GWh-scale in the Netherlands alongside it are Lion Storage, Giga Storage and Corre Energy, while SemperPower, PowerField and RWE have already deployed or are building sub-100MW grid-scale projects.

Why should the Netherlands accelerate the energy transition?

The Netherlands must accelerate so as not to miss opportunities. Energy storage is the missing link in the energy transition. Without large-scale deployment of batteries, heat buffers and hydrogen storage, the Netherlands risks falling behind in Europe and becoming more dependent on foreign players.

What is Wärtsilä's energy storage project?

This is Wärtsilä’s first project in the Netherlands and one of the first of its kind anywhere in central Europe. As the largest energy storage project in the Netherlands to date, it will store the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of more than 9,000 households each year and reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by up to 23,000 tonnes.

How will S4 Energy help the Dutch electricity grid?

S4 Energy said the project’s ability to store energy for longer periods, combined with its rapid-response capabilities, will enable it to provide essential services to the grid and, eventually, end-consumers. Dominique Becker Hoff, CCO of S4 Energy, said: “It is no secret that the Dutch electricity grid is under strain.
