Image: TotalEnergies. Close to 900MW of publicly announced battery storage projects will be online in continental France by the end of next year and although the country lags behind its nearest northern neighbour, the business case for battery storage is growing.
Baschet recently told Energy-Storage.news that battery storage could capture about a third of the opportunity for aFRR across the interconnected European market by 2025. Energy-Storage.news reported a while back on the completion of an expansion at continental France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project.
Energy-Storage.news reported a while back on the completion of an expansion at continental France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project. BESS capacity at the TotalEnergies refinery site in Dunkirk, northern France, is now 61MW/61MWh over two phases, with the most recent 36MW/36MWh addition completed shortly before the end of 2021.
The energy major has 103MW of capacity market contracted energy storage online or coming online in France. Interestingly however, despite presiding over the single biggest project in the country, TotalEnergies sits second in Clean Horizon’s chart of France’s most prolific (publicly announced) battery storage project owners and developers.
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
France’s shift to a pay-as-clear model for aFRR in June 2024 is one example of evolving market dynamics that incentivise battery deployment. Yet, Aurora warns that the limited depth of the aFRR market leaves it particularly vulnerable to oversupply.
