Energy Solutions Group (ESG) announced today that it has completed project financing for a 75-MW/300-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) under construction in Belgium. The Megapack battery system. Source: Tesla Inc The financing was arranged by KBC Bank and Wallonie Entreprendre.
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 Vilvoorde battery park is not ENGIE's only project. The company is also building other large-scale BESS systems in Belgium. For instance, a Kallo site has plans for 100 MW / 400 MWh. Meanwhile, a third project in Drogenbos (80 MW / 320 MWh) has secured a 15-year capacity contract via Belgium's Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM).
ENGIE's battery systems are central to its flexibility strategy in Belgium. The company views large-scale storage as vital to integrating more renewable energy. Indeed, the Vilvoorde site alone can support the daily electricity needs of nearly 96,000 Belgian households when operating at full capacity.
