Update on Europe''s Largest Battery Energy Storage System
The largest battery energy storage system in mainland Europe has gone live in Belgium, as Sungrow and ENGIE completed the first 400MWh phase of the 200MW/800MWh
Belgium is one of the most active and mature grid-scale energy storage markets in Europe, with diversified opportunities for monetising battery storage via flexibility markets and a supportive regulatory regime.
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.

The Visé project is scheduled to play a vital role in Belgium's energy infrastructure once operational. It reflects increasing interest in battery storage across Europe as countries seek to optimise renewable energy use and modernise their grids.
