The system is expected to be installed by Q3 2025, and will help stabilise the grid and integrate renewables, with future expansion to 204MWh planned.
It is the same project that was announced late last year, owned by consortium FlevoBESS, investor GreenPowerBank Dronten and green energy utility Pure Energie, along with 400 local shareholders. Eneco will optimise the project’s dispatch into the electricity market.
Larger projects have been announced in the Netherlands but this will be the largest in the country when if it comes online this year. The current largest is a 30MW/68MWh system owned by storage developer-operator SemperPower.
Gert Naber, board member of FlevoBESS, said: “Our consortium is committed to making a real impact in the region by driving local engagement and making sustainable progress. We chose Alfen as a key partner for their proven track record in developing innovative, sustainable energy storage solutions and their dedication to making this project successful.”
