The scheme is scheduled to open on Jan. 1, 2025, and end in 2034. The funding is part of a €416 million subsidy program that was announced last year. The Dutch government said it would allocate the funds from the climate package issued in 2022, with the subsidies to facilitate the deployment of 160 MW to 330 MW of battery storage.
The Dutch government has earmarked €100 million ($106.7 million) of subsidies for the deployment of battery storage alongside PV projects. The funds are part of a €416 million subsidy program announced last year to alleviate grid congestion.
The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) will determine the updated fees by the coming spring. “This makes it easier to connect batteries to the Dutch electricity grid,” the government said. “Battery operators who use this form of contract must, upon request, help the grid operator to limit grid congestion.
Research commissioned by TenneT suggests that these reduced grid fees could stimulate the addition of 2 GW to 5 GW of new battery capacity by 2030. The Netherlands faces the pressing need to address grid constraints as it plans to deploy substantial solar capacity in the coming years.
