In total, the energy storage facility was a €33 million investment. The Deux-Acren site may be the biggest of its kind in Europe, but Belgium has several other similar facilities, namely in Ruien (in the province of East Flanders) and in Balen (in the province of Antwerp).
Dutch energy company Eneco said it is investing in a major battery storage project in Wallonia. With the installation of a 50 MW/200 MWh battery storage system, sustainable electricity can be used more efficiently to balance the Belgian grid. The building permit has already been received.
The battery energy storage project is another step in Eneco's investments in Belgium's transition to a fully sustainable energy system. With 128 onshore wind turbines, participations in Belgium's 2 largest offshore wind farms and nearly 400,000 solar panels, it is the largest green and the greenest major energy player in the country.
A first flagship energy storage project in Belgium After commissioning four battery parks in France offering total energy storage capacity of 130 MWh, this project will be the Company's largest battery installation in Europe.
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 unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services.
