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.

The 30.7M/62.6MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project, called Castor, is located in an energy hub in Vlissingen-Oost, a north sea port town.
To achieve its renewable energy targets, reports in 2021 indicate that the Netherlands will need to install between 29 and 54 gigawatts (GW) of energy storage capacity by 2050. Storage with efficient management systems and digital controls is a crucial element of a reliable, flexible and affordable energy system.
Roger Miesen, CEO RWE Generation and Country Chair for the Netherlands: “With the increasing share of renewable energies in the electricity mix, the demand for flexible battery storage is also rising.
The company plans to virtually connect this battery storage system with its run-of-river power plants on the Moselle River. A 220-MW battery storage system is currently under construction at RWE’s Neurath and Westfalen power plants.
The company has now started construction of its first utility-scale Dutch battery storage project with an installed power capacity of 35 megawatts (MW) and a storage capacity of 41 megawatt-hours (MWh). A total of 110 lithium-ion battery racks will be installed at RWE’s biomass plant in Eemshaven on an area of around 3,000 square metres.
The project needs a new high-voltage transformer to step down the power from 380kV to 33kV," he said. Van den Brand said the company is "exploring opportunities to participate in plans for an energy hub and emergency power supply". LC Energy is a developer of solar PV and BESS in the Netherlands and is targeting 1.5GW of BESS before 2030.
