In 2030, especially in Groningen, there will be a need for battery power for sustainably generated electricity.
TenneT, the manager of the high-voltage grid, reports this. In 20230, Groningen will need battery capacity of more than 2000 megawatts (2 gigawatts).
Groningen is therefore far ahead in the Netherlands. Tennet bases the expected capacity per province on, among other things, the expected surplus of sustainably generated electricity. Energy from solar parks and windmills.
Batteries at Aldel in Delfzijl
Several initiators for a battery farm have reported to Groningen Seaports. An initiative of large-scale storage in batteries is concrete. GIGA Storage wants to build batteries with a capacity of one gigawatt on the site of the bankrupt Aldel in Delfzijl.
According to TenneT, a capacity of 9 gigawatts is required throughout the Netherlands by 20230. According to TenneT, the batteries will play an important role in keeping the Dutch power grid in balance. When the sun and wind provide a lot of energy, it can be stored in the batteries. Energy that is released when demand is high.
