Technology provider Fluence will supply, install and maintain the energy storage system while Centrica Business Solutions Belgium will dispatch and trade the battery''s capabilities and capacity. At two hours'' duration, the system is longer duration than many of the large-scale projects seen to date using lithium-ion batteries in Europe.
Energy intensity can therefore be a useful metric to monitor. Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product. It effectively measures how efficiently a country uses energy to produce a given amount of economic output. A lower energy intensity means it needs less energy per unit of GDP.
We believe that large-scale energy storage from renewable sources provides a solution to phasing out fossil fuels without compromising energy supply. Our ambition is to help facilitate the nuclear phase-out by achieving 2025 GW of battery storage in Belgium before 2030.
