    Quick Summary

    The Netherlands plans a 1.4 GW battery storage facility using Tesla Megapack 2 XL to balance its power grid, supporting offshore wind energy.

    Netherlands to Construct 1.4 GW Tesla Battery Storage Facility

    AMSTERDAM - Dutch energy storage firm Return plans to build a 1.4 gigawatt battery storage facility in the port of Vlissingen by 2027, it said on Tuesday, using 372 of Tesla's Megapack 2 XL grid storage batteries, in what will be the Netherlands' largest such project to date.

    Such batteries will be needed to balance the Netherlands' power grid as the country's plans to build 21 GW of offshore wind energy by 2032 are expected to lead to frequent electricity surpluses in the morning and evening.

    Return said the 350 million euro ($366 million) project, dubbed "Mufasa", will be able to discharge at 350MW, enough to power 200,000 households, several times a day. Investors include Macquarie Capital, Belgium's TINC, the company's existing investors, and a consortium of six banks.

    Eneco, Mitsubishi Corp of Japan's Dutch energy subsidiary, will operate the facility once it is complete, an Eneco spokesperson said.
