In consultation with the regional grid operator and in collaboration with a large horticulturist, S4 Energy is realizing its third energy storage location in Rilland. We expect the batteries to be energized by the end of 2024, with the full site commissioning by mid-2025. From that moment on, we will support this critical point in the grid with a 10MW connection and a 4-hour capacity of40MWh. Zeeland is an important hub for the electricity supply of the Netherlands, as it not only connects to the Belgian grid but also accommodates a significant portion of the offshore wind projects entering the Netherlands. As such, supporting and buffering the regional grid contributes to a more stable grid with less congestion.
Since we have already developed, designed, tendered, and built multiple sites ourselves, we see a significant increase in efficiency and effectiveness in our processes and lead times.
We have developed, financed, engineered, tendered, and built this project ourselves. In the subsequent phases, we will handle the commissioning, daily operations, and maintenance.
