Is ENGIE generating a Bess project in Belgium?

ENGIE is also generating two other BESS projects in Belgium which already have credentials in place, a 100-MW/400-MWh scheme in Kallo and an 80-MW/320-MWh battery in Drogenbos. The firm targets 10 GW of battery capability globally by 2030. At the end of 2023, it contained 1.3 GW of battery capacity in function and 3.6 GW secured under development.

What is ENGIE's Vilvoorde Bess project?

ENGIE has started building one of Europe’s largest Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at its Vilvoorde place in Belgium. The project, authorised in July 2023 and selected for power remuneration in October 2023, has an inaugurated capacity of 200 MW on a 3.5-hectare site. What are the specifications of ENGIE’s Vilvoorde BESS project?

How much electricity does Bess Vilvoorde use?

Equivalent to 160,000 5 kWh domestic batteries, it will cover the electricity consumption of 96,000 households. The battery park has a 15-year contract with Elia, the national grid operator. 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.

Why is ENGIE launching a Kallo facility in Belgium?

The Kallo facility represents the second large-scale energy storage initiative by ENGIE in Belgium, demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation in the energy transition.
