The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
The complexity of grid connection requirements varies significantly based on location and local regulations, with costs ranging from €50,000 to €200,000 per MW of capacity. System integration expenses cover the sophisticated control systems, energy management software, and monitoring equipment essential for optimal battery performance.
Grid-side energy storage projects in Belgium have good prospects, thanks to low grid charges, no double charging policies, and diversified revenue sources. In 2023, 11 new battery projects in Belgium have been awarded capacity market contracts, totaling more than 363 MW.
