6 FAQs about Netherlands Rotterdam Energy Storage Power Station Project

What is EP NL & Eneco doing at Europoort?

EP NL and Eneco are realizing a large-scale battery project at Enecogen's Europoort power plant, in which both parties hold a 50% stake. The battery will have a connection capacity of 50 MW and an energy storage capacity of 200 MWh, enabling it to supply electricity for four hours.

When will Eneco & EP NL's battery storage project be operational?

Eneco and EP NL have announced a joint investment in a 50 MW / 200 MWh battery storage project at the Enecogen power plant in the port of Rotterdam. The two energy companies, which each hold a 50% stake in Enecogen, expect the battery to be operational in 2027.

Who controls battery projects in the Netherlands?

The EP NL and Eneco trading departments control the battery. Batteries are indispensable for the energy transition. Yet the development of battery projects in the Netherlands lags behind that in other countries. This is because batteries in the Netherlands have to pay to take power from the grid.

Are all energy storage facilities in the Netherlands electro-chemical?

All energy storage facilities in the Netherlands are electro-chemical, with the exception of the contracted 1 MW Hydrostar underwater compressed air energy storage project in Aruba (Caribbean). Hydrostar is a Canadian company specializing in underwater compressed air energy storage technologies.

Why is battery storage important for the Dutch electricity system?

This will provide more flexibility for the Dutch electricity system when the battery is put into operation in 2027. Battery storage enables electricity to be stored when there is more available than is needed, for example when a lot of solar and wind energy is generated.

How will enecogen & EP NL handle battery development in the Netherlands?

Enecogen will handle the battery's maintenance and operations, while the trading departments of EP NL and Eneco will control its deployment. No financial details were announced. In the announcement, the companies noted that battery development in the Netherlands lags behind other European countries, citing grid fees as a primary obstacle.
