Brussels Morning Newspaper » Economy » ENGIE launches Europe’s largest battery energy storage system in Belgium Brussels (Brussels Morning) – ENGIE is constructing a massive Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Vilvoorde, Belgium, with 200 MW capacity and 800 MWh storage, aiming to support 96,000 households with renewable energy solutions.
Olivier Bouchat of Wallonie Entreprendre highlighted the importance of battery storage parks in stabilizing Belgium's energy grid, especially with the increasing reliance on decarbonized energy sources. Wallonie Entreprendre's investment supports the region’s transition to a more sustainable and circular energy future.
The milestone of reaching financial close was celebrated as a significant step towards energizing the green transition in Belgium. Olivier Bouchat of Wallonie Entreprendre highlighted the importance of battery storage parks in stabilizing Belgium's energy grid, especially with the increasing reliance on decarbonized energy sources.
The park will make a significant contribution to the energy grid by providing stored renewable energy during periods of low solar and wind energy production — thereby reducing Belgium’s reliance on gas power plants. Sweco will deliver the design of the civil engineering and electrical engineering works of the battery energy storage system (BESS).
Sweco will deliver the design of the civil engineering and electrical engineering works of the battery energy storage system (BESS). Construction is set to begin in the summer of 2025 with completion of the new battery park expected by 2028.
Sweco will design one of continental Europe’s largest battery parks, Green Turtle, for the energy storage company GIGA Storage Belgium. This facility will have a storage capacity of 2,800 MWh of electricity.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
