Similar to last year, battery energy storage systems (BESS) made up almost all new-build capacity selected in recent Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM) auctions in Belgium.
Other factors that make Belgium an appealing location for battery investments are the exemption of TSO grid fees and high revenues from balancing market (mainly FCR and aFRR),” Simon De Clercq, senior research associate at Aurora Energy Research, told ESS News.
It covers key market trends, with a particular focus on the shift toward utility-scale storage, the continuing growth of residential and commercial installations, and the evolving role of battery storage in supporting Europe's clean energy goals.
It also outlines the key challenges facing the sector, including underdeveloped frameworks and barriers to investment. The study concludes with five policy recommendations designed to accelerate battery storage deployment and ensure energy systems are prepared to integrate high levels of renewable energy.
“There appears to be room for battery storage players to participate even more in the CRM auctions. Nearly 1.5 GW of capacity remains to be procured for the 2028-2029 delivery period through the Y-1 and Y-2 auctions, presenting significant opportunities for battery projects,” De Clerq says.
