Upon completion of the second 400MWh phase by the end of 2025, the entire installation will be providing clean, stable power for about 96,000 homes and helping stabilize Belgium's power grid. Battery storage is one of the most vital, yet too often overlooked, pieces of the energy transition jigsaw,” said Moritz Rolf, Sungrow Europe Vice President.
ENGIE's battery systems are central to its flexibility strategy in Belgium. The company views large-scale storage as vital to integrating more renewable energy. Indeed, the Vilvoorde site alone can support the daily electricity needs of nearly 96,000 Belgian households when operating at full capacity.
The Vilvoorde battery park is not ENGIE's only project. The company is also building other large-scale BESS systems in Belgium. For instance, a Kallo site has plans for 100 MW / 400 MWh. Meanwhile, a third project in Drogenbos (80 MW / 320 MWh) has secured a 15-year capacity contract via Belgium's Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM).
Selected in the country's fifth Capacity Remuneration Mechanism auction, the project carries a 15-year contract beginning November 2027 and underscores Belgium's emphasis on procuring flexible resources to support energy security as renewable capacity grows.
