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.
The main energy storage project in Belgium is the construction and operation of an offshore “energy atoll” (essentially a manmade offshore pumped-storage facility), for which the Electricity Act has been modified in 2014 (see below), in order to support offshore wind-generated electricity production.
We added 9% of energy storage capacity (in GW terms) by 2030 globally as a buffer. The buffer addresses uncertainties, such as markets where we lack visibility and where more ambitious policies may develop that we haven’t predicted. We revised our buffer calculation methodology in this market outlook.
Global energy storage’s record additions in 2023 will be followed by a 27% compound annual growth rate to 2030, with annual additions reaching 110GW/372GWh, or 2.6 times expected 2023 gigawatt installations. Targets and subsidies are translating into project development and power market reforms that favor energy storage.
South Korea will hold an auction for storage to reduce renewable curtailment and published a new policy to revive its commercial storage sector. Australia and Japan are both executing new capacity auctions for clean firm capacity which benefit energy storage installation by providing long-term capacity payments.
The financing was arranged by KBC Bank and Wallonie Entreprendre. The latter announced separately that its own contribution stands at EUR 15 million (USD 15.4m). The BESS facility is being built on an industrial site next to an Elia high-voltage substation in Harmignies, part of the municipality of Mons in the Walloon region.
