utility scale ESS project financing options in Netherlands 2025

How much money does the Netherlands spend on battery energy storage?

Netherlands' climate minister has allocated €100 million in subsidies to the deployment of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology.

How much Bess will be online in the Netherlands by ?

Without subsidies, transmission system operator TenneT expects about 2GW of BESS to be online in the Netherlands by , much lower than the 9GW it forecasts it needs. See Jetten’s letter announcing the accelerated deployment of the funds (in Dutch) here. This isn’t just another summit – it’s our biggest and most exhilarating Summit yet!

What is the €100 million Bess scheme?

The €100 million (US$106 million) allocation is part of a €416 million package for PV co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) technology that was initially to total €41.6 million a year, starting in , for ten years. The programme is set to open on 1 January , and more details will be released to the House later this year.

Will Bess be available in the Netherlands in ?

Building a business case for BESS in the Netherlands has been a major challenge for the industry, as detailed in interviews with developer-operator SemperPower (Premium access) and developer Lion Storage, with SemperPower saying that virtually no new grid-scale BESS would come online in .

Can the Bess participate in other electricity market avenues during off-peak hours?

The BESS can also participate in other electricity market avenues during those off-peak hours. The government has also indicated that the BESS will need to obtain at least 75% of its energy from the co-located generation.
