Paris, May 15, 2023 – TotalEnergies has launched at its Antwerp refinery (Belgium), a battery farm project for energy storage with a power rating of 25 MW and capacity of 75 MWh, equivalent to the daily consumption of close to 10,000 households. A first flagship energy storage project in Belgium [pdf]
On May 20, 2025, the Masen Agency announced a new pilot project called the “Morocco Energy Storage Testbed Project,” validated by the World Bank. Deployed at the iconic Noor Ouarzazate site, this program aims to experiment with different technological storage solutions to improve grid flexibility. [pdf]
In 2022, a German-Komoran consortium deployed Africa’s first island-scale battery storage system (4.8MWh capacity). The results? Project lead Dr. Amina Said famously joked: “We’re not just storing electrons – we’re storing economic potential.” [pdf]
Return has launched construction works on the 100 MW / 200 MWh Antares battery energy storage system (BESS) in Waddinxveen, in the western Netherlands. The project is set to go live mid 2026 and play a critical role in stabilizing the Dutch grid. [pdf]
One of Hungary’s largest battery energy storage facilities has been completed in Szolnok. Built by Forest-Vill on behalf of MAVIR, the system officially began operations on June 26. The HUF 8.5 billion investment aims to support the grid integration of solar power plants established in the region. [pdf]
– A California lawmaker is calling for an end to the Morro Bay battery energy project following a fire at a lithium battery storage facility in Moss Landing, operated by Texas-based Vistra Energy. [pdf]
This project is located along the Niger River in Mali. It aims to provide a range of battery inverter energy storage systems for residential users in Mali, offering solutions in power ratings of 5kW, 10kW, 15kW, and 20kW to meet varying energy needs. [pdf]
In an exciting development for renewable energy in Africa, Qair, an Independent Power Producer (IPP), has successfully closed a loan to finance a significant 60MW hybrid solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Mauritius. [pdf]
