Expected ROI of enterprise ESS system project in Belgium 2026

How is equans contributing to Belgium's energy transition?

Equans is contributing to Belgium's energy transition by building one of the country's largest battery farms, with a capacity of 2 x 100 MW and 800 MWh of storage. Find out how Equans, in partnership with ENGIE, is playing a key role in transforming the former Vilvoorde gas power plant into a pillar of renewable energy.

What is ENGIE's Vilvoorde Bess project?

ENGIE has started building one of Europe’s largest Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at its Vilvoorde place in Belgium. The project, authorised in July 2023 and selected for power remuneration in October 2023, has an inaugurated capacity of 200 MW on a 3.5-hectare site. What are the specifications of ENGIE’s Vilvoorde BESS project?

Is ENGIE generating a Bess project in Belgium?

ENGIE is also generating two other BESS projects in Belgium which already have credentials in place, a 100-MW/400-MWh scheme in Kallo and an 80-MW/320-MWh battery in Drogenbos. The firm targets 10 GW of battery capability globally by 2030. At the end of 2023, it contained 1.3 GW of battery capacity in function and 3.6 GW secured under development.

What factors affect the ROI of a Bess?

External Factors that influence the ROI of a BESS The cost of electricity, including peak and off-peak rates, significantly impacts the ROI. Energy storage systems can store cheaper off-peak energy for use during expensive peak periods.

How does energy storage affect Roi?

The cost of electricity, including peak and off-peak rates, significantly impacts the ROI. Energy storage systems can store cheaper off-peak energy for use during expensive peak periods. Subsidies, tax credits, and rebates offered by governments can enhance the financial attractiveness of ESS installations.

What factors influence the ROI of a battery energy storage system?

Several key factors influence the ROI of a BESS. In order to assess the ROI of a battery energy storage system, we need to understand that there are two types of factors to keep in mind: internal factors that we can influence within the organization/business, and external factors that are beyond our control.
