Aurora Energy Research calculates that over the past CRM auction rounds, 1.1 GW of new-build battery capacity was selected to receive capacity payments by winter 2028-2029. Over the past four auction rounds, a total of 13 new large-scale BESS projects were selected, with ENGIE, Storm, and GIGA Storage securing the largest contracts.
Bnewable focuses on behind-the-metre batteries for companies that already produce renewable energy, or companies that are electrifying such as in the logistics sector. The company provides the investment in the batteries, manages them via its Voltana energy management platform and also trades the excess energy.
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.

Sweco will design one of continental Europe''s largest battery parks, Green Turtle, for the energy storage company GIGA Storage Belgium. The park will make a significant contribution to the energy grid by providing stored renewable energy during periods of low solar and wind energy production — thereby reducing Belgium''s reliance on gas power plants.
In a development with potentially profound ramifications for the battery manufacturing sector, American battery behemoth Energizer Holdings is reportedly engaged in high-level negotiations aimed at acquiring the beleaguered Advanced Power Solutions (APS) factory in Limburg, Belgium.
Dutch energy storage developer Giga Storage BV has secured a permit to build a 600-MW/1,200-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) park in Belgium, aiming to complete the project in 2028.
When the supply of renewable energy exceeds the demand for power, battery systems like Green Turtle allow excess energy to be stored, then fed back into the grid when the demand for energy soars. This allows for more efficient use of renewable energy and avoids having to shut down wind turbines or large-scale solar panel farms to spare the grid.
Engie is also developing two other BESS projects in Belgium which already have permits in place, a 100-MW/400-MWh project in Kallo and a 80-MW/320-MWh battery in Drogenbos. The company targets 10 GW of battery capacity globally by 2030. At the end of 2023, it had 1.3 GW of battery capacity in operation and 3.6 GW secured under development.
