ENGIE and Sungrow Bring Europe’s Largest Battery Storage Project Online
The project uses 320 of Sungrow's PowerTitan liquid-cooled battery storage units and is designed to enhance grid flexibility, absorbing excess energy during peak production and releasing it when demand rises. Once fully operational, the system will be capable of delivering reliable, renewable energy to as many as 96,000 households.
Moritz Rolf, Vice President at Sungrow Europe, said the project underscores the importance of large-scale storage in advancing Europe's energy transition. "Our technology ensures the flexibility the grid needs to integrate more renewables efficiently," he stated.
Vincent Verbeke, CEO of ENGIE Belgium, highlighted the strategic value of partnerships. "Working with trusted and innovative partners like Sungrow enables us to accelerate the integration of renewables and build a more sustainable and reliable energy system."
The Vilvoorde project supports the EU's 2050 climate targets and is seen as a model for modernising legacy infrastructure through clean energy integration. With a slim, compact design, Sungrow's BESS units offer scalable, temperature-controlled storage that ensures operational efficiency and land-use optimization.
