S4 Energy, Rotterdam-based leader in European grid-scale storage, has operationalized its state-of-the-art 4-hour Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the first of its kind in the Netherlands.
Located in the Rilland municipality in the province of Zeeland, the project offers a 4-hour 10MW charge and discharge capacity. Its ability to efficiently store energy for an extended period combined with rapid, on-demand response enables it to provide several essential services to the grid and eventually, the end-consumers.
The BESS also supports energy transition, by enabling integration of intermittent renewables while maintaining grid stability and reliability, which in turn helps lower electricity costs for the consumers.
