successful bid price of floor standing battery project in Belgium 2026

Why is Belgium a good place to invest in a battery?

Other factors that make Belgium an appealing location for battery investments are the exemption of TSO grid fees and high revenues from balancing market (mainly FCR and aFRR),” Simon De Clercq, senior research associate at Aurora Energy Research, told ESS News.

What is a derating factor in a battery bid?

“The duration of the battery will result in a different derating factor of the bid,” De Clerq said. The derating factor is a percentage that reflects how much of a project’s total capacity is “usable” for ensuring grid reliability during periods of high demand or stress.

How many MW of Bess was contracted in -?

Elia announced that the goal had been achieved for the - delivery year: “security of supply is guaranteed, and sufficient volume has been contracted”. A total of 100 MW of BESS was contracted in this procurement exercise.

In the Y-1 auction, one battery project secured a one-year contract, competing mainly against gas-fired OCGTs and CCGTs. Elia publishes the auction rules — including the derating factors, the price cap, and the volumes — in Q1 of the auction year.

For a typical 5 kWp photovoltaic installation in Belgium producing around 4,500 kWh per year, this represents an additional annual saving of up to €500 to €800 thanks to increased self-consumption alone. An intelligent battery, combined with a high-performance hybrid inverter, can detect your
