Dispatch, a Dutch battery developer, is going to construct the Netherlands’ largest stand-alone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the port area of Dordrecht. The system will be used for grid stabilization by storing excess energy from renewable sources. The battery, consisting of 144 Fluence cubes will be located on a 6000m² site.
Energy storage can play a key role in contributing to solutions for shortages of capacity on the grid. It is therefore no surprise that we have seen the appetite for large-scale battery energy storage systems growing in the Netherlands.
Under the Electricity Act 1998, generation is exempt from the payment of transmission costs, but consumption is not. This highlights one of the main barriers to energy storage in the Netherlands, as batteries currently pay more transmission costs than polluting wholesale consumers.
An important direct source of flexibility for the electricity market, are battery energy storage systems (BESS). DNV has been commissioned by Invest-NL to examine the Dutch wholesale and balancing market developments and opportunities for BESS.
Wärtsilä cited reports claiming that the Netherlands needs 29-54GW of energy storage by 2050 to achieve its renewable energy goals, including a 95% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. GIGA Buffalo, the largest battery energy storage system in the Netherlands, has been officially inaugurated after 10 months of construction.
A positive development, however, is that double taxation of battery energy storage systems (i.e. at the time of recharging and at the time of feed-into the grid) was abolished in 1 January 2022. As a result of the Dutch net-metering scheme (salderingsregeling), home battery storage currently lags behind in development.
Meanwhile, the EU''s Fit-for-55 package contained relevant provisions on energy storage, including the proposal to revise the Energy Taxation Directive with a specific provision to end the double taxation of energy storage. At the time of publication the proposal for the Energy Taxation Directive continues to be examined within the European Parliament and European …

Recently, the largest battery energy storage system in the Netherlands was commissioned. Located in the Vlissingen-Oost energy hub is Semperpower''s system, with a capacity of 30.7 megawatts and an energy storage capacity of 62.6 megawatt hours: that is roughly equivalent to the energy usage of 15,000 households for a full day.
