To achieve its renewable energy targets, reports in 2021 indicate that the Netherlands will need to install between 29 and 54 gigawatts (GW) of energy storage capacity by 2050. Storage with efficient management systems and digital controls is a crucial element of a reliable, flexible and affordable energy system.
This is Wärtsilä’s first project in the Netherlands and one of the first of its kind anywhere in central Europe. As the largest energy storage project in the Netherlands to date, it will store the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of more than 9,000 households each year and reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by up to 23,000 tonnes.
In the Netherlands, there has also historically not been a roadmap or detailed industrial strategy with supportive legislation, policy, taxation reliefs, or investment incentives for the energy storage market.
The company currently operates battery storage systems with a total capacity of around 1,200 megawatts (MW). RWE’s first inertia-ready battery energy storage system (BESS) has started commercial operation on the site of the company’s power plant in Moerdijk, the Netherlands.
Market participants also indicated that they wanted national targets set for energy storage solutions, and more efficient permitting procedures to support them in the development of storage assets. The government responded to some of the feedback from market participants, issuing its first Energy Storage Roadmap in June 2023.
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. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
