AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch energy company Eneco said on Wednesday it would build a 50 megawatt (MW) battery energy storage project in Belgium using Tesla battery packs, its largest such project to date.
The project in Ville-sur-Haine will consist of 53 “Megapack” battery units from Tesla, able to deliver power for 4 hours or 200 megawatt-hours in all.
Such storage projects are expected to become increasingly important in coming years as increasing amounts of electricity is being generated from renewable sources such as solar and wind.

Battery energy storage refers to systems that store energy for later use, allowing for the management of energy supply and demand, especially from renewable sources.
Renewable energy sources are energy sources that are replenished naturally, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy.
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, commonly used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large facilities.
