RWE is additional increasing its battery storage enterprise worldwide. The corporate has now
began development of its first utility-scale Dutch battery storage undertaking with an put in energy capability of 35 megawatts (MW) and a storage capability of 41 megawatt-hours (MWh). A complete of 110 lithium-ion battery racks might be put in at RWE’s Eemshaven energy plant on an space of round 3,000 sq. metres. The storage system is deliberate to provide management vitality and to function in wholesale markets as of 2025.
The battery undertaking is a crucial step in direction of a portfolio of modern versatile belongings to optimally combine the weather-related fluctuating energy technology profile of the “OranjeWind” offshore wind farm, which is presently in improvement, into the Dutch vitality system. In 2022, RWE had secured the implementation of the offshore undertaking off the Dutch coast with a system integration idea that mixes the wind farm with the technology of inexperienced hydrogen and different options corresponding to battery storage.
Roger Miesen, CEO RWE Era and Nation Chair for the Netherlands: “This development begin makes me very proud. RWE’s first utility-scale battery storage undertaking in
the Netherlands is an enormous step in direction of a dependable electrical energy provide in an more and more inexperienced nationwide vitality system. Thus, we’re actively contributing in direction of stabilising the Dutch electrical energy grid.”
The battery storage facility will be capable of function at its put in capability of 35 MW for over an hour. Theoretically, that is adequate to cost round 800 EVs. The system has been
designed to be just about coupled throughout applied sciences with RWE energy vegetation within the Netherlands. This permits optimum administration of balancing vitality, which will be equipped by chosen models both individually or as a bunch.
RWE:
As a driver of the vitality transition, RWE develops, builds and operates battery storage programs in Europe, Australia and the US. At present, the corporate operates battery storage programs with an total capability of round 500 MW and has greater than 1 GW of battery storage initiatives beneath development worldwide. RWE is planning to increase its battery storage enterprise to
6 gigawatts worldwide by 2030. Firstly of 2023, RWE commissioned a primary megabattery in Lingen and Werne (each Germany) with a capability of 117 MW. A 220 MW undertaking is presently
beneath development at two areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2023, the corporate acquired UK photo voltaic and battery developer JBM Photo voltaic with a sophisticated battery undertaking improvement pipeline of two.3 gigawatts. RWE is planning, constructing and working modern mixed photo voltaic and storage vegetation in its German opencast mining websites. As well as, the corporate has received the bid for a long-duration battery storage system (50 megawatts/400 MWh) in Australia. Within the US, the corporate related its first utility-scale battery storage system to the California electrical grid in 2023. The 137 MW Fifth Commonplace facility—the corporate’s largest storage facility thus far – collocates with a 150-MW photo voltaic PV array in Fresno County, California.
