Netherlands-based startup Moonwatt plans to commercialise an energy storage solution for hybridisation with solar using two big technological deviations from today’s industry standard – we hear more from the firm’s CEO and COO.

Independent power producer (IPP) RWE has commissioned a 35MW/41MWh BESS in the Netherlands, while commissioning is progressing on a smaller system with grid-forming capabilities.

ESN Premium speaks with Anna Darmani, energy storage analyst at Wood Mackenzie, about Europe’s sector evolution.

As Europe’s BESS industry matures, project owner-operators are taking on more control – and risk – when it comes to procuring technology and services for their projects.

Developer Lion Storage has successfully reached financial close on a 1.4GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) set to be developed in the Netherlands.

A total of 5.2GW/13.8GWh of grid-scale BESS capacity came online in January 2025, of which over two thirds was in China.

BESS developer-operator S4 Energy has put a 4-hour duration project online in the Netherlands, the first in the country to become operational.

Netherlands-based system integrator Alfen has been revealed as the supplier for a 31.6MW/126.4MWh BESS currently under construction.

Utility Eneco will optimise a BESS project in the Netherlands that, at 31.6MW/126.4MWh, will be the country’s largest when it comes online before the end of the year.

Dispatch has begun construction on a 45MW/90MWh battery storage project in the Netherlands, with Macquarie among its backers.
