Energy Storage NL is the subject matter expert on energy storage and conversion technology. We promote awareness and knowledge about the current and future role for energy storage and conversion in the energy system. Energy Storage NL represents the broad energy storage sector towards governments and external stakeholders.
The Netherlands Advancion Energy Storage Array was commissioned in late 2015 and provides 10 MWh of storage to Dutch transmission system operator TenneT. The project, which represents 50% of all Dutch energy storage capacity, provides frequency regulation by using power stored in its batteries to respond to grid imbalances.
All energy storage facilities in the Netherlands are electro-chemical, with the exception of the contracted 1 MW Hydrostar underwater compressed air energy storage project in Aruba (Caribbean). Hydrostar is a Canadian company specializing in underwater compressed air energy storage technologies.
As mentioned above, there have been two major barriers, or stumbling blocks, to the business case for energy storage in the Netherlands to date. As of the beginning of 2022, one of those has been eliminated, to the great relief of GIGA Storage and others in the industry.
