Swedish engineering firm Sweco has won the contract to design one of Europe's largest battery parks which will be built in Belgium, the company confirmed on Monday.
The completed park will have a power capacity of 700 MW and a storage capacity of 2,800 MWh, enough to power 385,000 households for a year, according to Sweco. The facility will provide stored renewable energy during periods of low solar and wind energy production, reducing Belgium's reliance on gas power plants.
Sweco has been selected as our partner for the integral design because of their solid expertise in battery energy storage systems (BESS)," said Joeri Siborgs, General Manager of GIGA Storage Belgium. GIGA Storage Belgium develops and deploys large-scale energy storage projects within the Belgian energy network.
