We highlight the economic opportunities for BESS assets within one of the Dutch electricity markets in this article. The Dutch electricity market is undergoing a significant shift towards renewable energy, primarily solar, wind, and other sustainable sources.
This document is for information purposes only and is not, and should not be construed as, an offer, invitation or recommendation. The Dutch BESS market offers strong potential amid rising flexibility needs, but faces grid and policy hurdles. Still, investor interest and regulatory innovation grow.
To date, around 250MW of BESS has been installed in the Netherlands, while 840MW is permitted or under construction and another 690MW has been announced. Meanwhile, the scale of announced projects is on the rise.
Dutch BESS projects mainly participate in two balancing services: Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) and automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR). The Dutch TSO, TenneT, uses these services as the primary and secondary restoration services, respectively, as explained in RaboResearch’s report on the Dutch electricity sector.
Dutch BESS projects face high grid fees and lack access to contracted revenue streams through capacity markets. Moreover, the limited availability of new grid connections due to severe grid congestion poses additional challenges for potential BESS investors.
BESS in the Netherlands is a new and small but increasingly necessary industry. A striking growth in battery capacity began in 2021 when the total installed capacity rose by 65% compared to the previous year. This number doubled in 2022 and then tripled in 2023, reaching 621 MWh.
