Technical FAQs 4

Where is ENGIE building a Bess project?

Engie has started construction on a 100MW/400MWh capacity market contract-winning BESS project in Kallo, Belgium, provided by NHOA Energy.

What is the Bess Vilvorde project?

The BESS Vilvorde project is in line with the Group's commitment to developing large-scale flexibility solutions, an essential link in the integration of renewable energy production. It will contribute to ENGIE's goal of achieving 10 GW of installed battery capacity worldwide by 2030.

What does Bess stand for?

In a significant stride toward a cleaner and more flexible energy future, global energy leader ENGIE, in collaboration with NHOA Energy, celebrated the groundbreaking of a major battery energy storage system (BESS) in Kallo, a district in Beveren, Belgium.

When will Bess Vilvoorde be launched?

BESS Vilvoorde will be launched in two phases, with the commissioning of 100 MW of batteries in September 2025, and a further 100 MW in January 2026. ENGIE is also developing two other BESS projects in Belgium for which the Group has already obtained permits, in Kallo (100MW / 400 MWh) and Drogenbos (80MW / 320 MWh).
