Regulatory News:
On the occasion of Belgian Energy Minister Tinne Van der
Straeten's visit to TotalEnergies' (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE)
Antwerp refinery battery storage project, the Company announced the
development in Belgium of a second similar project.
The new project will be developed on the site of TotalEnergies’
depot in Feluy. It will have a power rating of 25 MW and capacity
of 75 MWh, thanks to the forty Intensium Max High Energy
lithium-ion containers supplied by Saft. Start-up is expected at
the end of 2025.
These two projects, which represent a global investment of
nearly €70 million, will bring TotalEnergies' storage capacity in
Belgium to 50 MW / 150 MWh.
These battery storage sites play a key role in the resilience of
the electricity system, providing flexibility and helping solve
grid congestion problems. They also encourage the growth of
renewable energies in the country, which require solutions like
these to compensate for their intermittency.
"We are pleased to announce this new storage project in Feluy,
just a year after we began our Antwerp project, which should be
operational by the end of the year. These projects are fully in
line with our integrated development strategy for electricity, not
just in Belgium, but globally," said Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice
President, Integrated Power at TotalEnergies. "These technical
systems also confirm the European leadership of our affiliate
specialized in battery production, Saft, and its industrial-scale
stationary storage know-how."
