6 FAQs about [France types of energy storage systems]
How big is France's energy storage capacity?
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. France had 90MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 359MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in France, according to GlobalData’s power database.
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.
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
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.
Is France a good place to invest in battery storage assets?
This is all the more encouraging because unlike the UK, there are only two revenue streams available for battery storage assets in France today. The other is frequency control reserve (FCR), aka primary control reserve (PCR), what could be seen as the first rung of the ancillary services ladder.
Will 900MW of battery storage be online in France?
Image: TotalEnergies. Close to 900MW of publicly announced battery storage projects will be online in continental France by the end of next year and although the country lags behind its nearest northern neighbour, the business case for battery storage is growing.
