Tuesday, 30 September 2025Global PV inverter and energy storage system (ESS) provider Sungrow has announced the successful grid connection of the first 400 MWh of ENGIE’s 200MW/800MWh battery energy storage project in Vilvoorde, Belgium. The largest of its kind on mainland Europe, the project utilises 320 units of Sungrow's innovative PowerTitan liquid-cooled battery storage units. The second and final phase of this 200 MW/800 MWh battery energy storage project is set to connect to the grid by the end of 2025. This installation of a large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) serves as a blueprint for effectively integrating renewable energy into legacy infrastructure – balancing the grid and mitigating issues with net congestion. These technological elements guarantee a safe and sustainable integration of large-scale energy storage into the power grid.
