Do Dutch home battery purchases keep driving battery storage installations?

Dutch home battery purchases keep driving battery storage installations. According to Dutch New Energy Research’s Nationaal Smart Storage Trendrapport 24/25, 410 MWh of new battery capacity was installed in the Netherlands in 2023 – 1 MWh is enough to power a couple hundred homes for a day.

How much battery storage is installed in the Netherlands?

The latest Trendrapport figures show how only 1.7% of the European battery storage is installed in the Netherlands. With the average battery storage capacity per capita in Europe being 48.4 Wh, the Netherlands is below the average with 34.9 Wh per person.

What is a battery energy storage system?

A battery energy storage system of this size is a premiere for the Netherlands. The installation can store green electricity from offshore wind farms for more than 200,000 households. With a storage capacity of 1,400 MWh and an energy capacity of 350 MW, the BESS is also one of the largest projects in Europe.

Are battery energy storage installations limiting the deployment of battery energy systems?

While lengthy authorization processes are limiting the deployment of battery energy storage installations (BESS), the lion’s share of purchased battery systems is in the residential sector. In fact, the paper shows that 98% of the Dutch installations are small ones (less than 20 kWh).

Is electricity production shifting in the Netherlands?

Electricity production is shifting in the Netherlands. Figures by Nationale Energie Dashboard (NED) show a consistent increase in renewable electricity generation.
