What is the first large-scale battery in France?

The 100 MW project is announced as the first large-scale, two-hour duration battery in France. The project will employ Tesla Megapack and Autobidder technology. From ESS News UK-based renewables developer Harmony Energy is looking to deliver France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS)—the Cheviré project – using Tesla Megapack technology.

How fast is battery storage deployment in France?

Battery storage deployment has not been as fast in France, or indeed much of mainland Europe, as it has been in markets like the US, UK and latterly Australia. RTE is conducting a pilot project, called Project RINGO, which will see just under 100MWh of battery storage deployed across three French sites that act as virtual transmission assets.

Is France ready for a battery industry?

Given the strategic nature of the battery industry and its economic significance, the emergence of a French industrial offer has been France’s top priority. In 2018, France launched the Plan Batteries, subsequently extended by France 2030, aimed at accelerating the development of a national battery industry.

What is France's 100 MW battery project?

The 100 MW project will mark a significant milestone for the French energy system, being the nation’s first large-scale two-hour battery, the developer said. Construction is set to begin shortly, and the system is expected to be fully operational in winter 2025.

Why is France launching a battery industrial offer?

European demand for batteries is growing fast and is set to increase 14-fold by 2030, mainly driven by the electrification of transport. Given the strategic nature of the battery industry and its economic significance, the emergence of a French industrial offer has been France’s top priority.

What is France's plan batteries?
