The installation can store green electricity from offshore wind farms for more than 200,000 households. With a storage capacity of 1,400 MWh and an energy capacity of 350 MW, the BESS is also one of the largest projects in Europe. Lion Storage commissioned Witteveen+Bos to guide the permit process for this groundbreaking project.
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.
Lithium-based energy storage systems are not expected to be included in the Living Environment Activities Decree (Bal) until 2026. This means there is no clear assessment framework.
