Image: CC. Dutch transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT says the Netherlands will need 9GW of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity connected to its grid by 2030. TenneT said it faces several near-term challenges on its electricity network which BESS projects of 70MW-500MW in size could help alleviate.
Moreover, the limited availability of new grid connections due to severe grid congestion poses additional challenges for potential BESS investors. Flexibility needs in the Netherlands are high, driven by the increasing share of intermittent renewable energy and lack of alternative storage technologies.
By 2030, total Dutch BESS capacity could potentially reach up to 5GW. This, however, will depend on investor confidence regarding the revenue potential and developments in the Dutch regulatory environment. Revenues from ancillary services are still relatively stable, but the threat of cannibalization is looming.
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.
BESS projects can provide additional flexibility to the grid by storing excess renewable energy and making it available when demand is high. By leveraging the spread between low or negative prices during periods of excess renewable production and high prices during peak demand, BESS operators can generate revenue from arbitrage opportunities.
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.
