Where is France's largest battery energy storage system located?
reported a while back on the completion of an expansion at continental France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project. BESS capacity at the TotalEnergies refinery site in Dunkirk, northern France, is now 61MW/61MWh over two phases, with the most recent 36MW/36MWh addition completed shortly before the end of 2021
Is totalenergies the biggest battery storage project in France?
The energy major has 103MW of capacity market contracted energy storage online or coming online in France. Interestingly however, despite presiding over the single biggest project in the country, TotalEnergies sits second in Clean Horizon’s chart of France’s most prolific (publicly announced) battery storage project owners and developers.
How fast is battery storage deployment in France?
Battery storage deployment has not been as fast in France, or indeed much of mainland Europe, as it has been in markets like the US, UK and latterly Australia. RTE is conducting a pilot project, called Project RINGO, which will see just under 100MWh of battery storage deployed across three French sites that act as virtual transmission assets.
