Energy storage can play a key role in contributing to solutions for shortages of capacity on the grid. It is therefore no surprise that we have seen the appetite for large-scale battery energy storage systems growing in the Netherlands.
Although renewable energy projects in general are possible under current legislation, the Netherlands has no specific legislation for energy storage. The legislator has drafted a bill combining and improving the current Electricity and Gas Act also known as “STROOM”.
In order to meet its ambitious CO2 reduction targets and minimise the country's dependence on Russian fossil fuels, the Netherlands is now more focused than ever in the development of battery electricity storage.
This highlights one of the main barriers to energy storage in the Netherlands, as batteries currently pay more transmission costs than polluting wholesale consumers. The ACM recognises this issue but holds that, as a general rule, transmission tariffs should be paid by the parties charging the network.
The rise of power generation from weather-dependent renewables, combined with a major shift in demand towards increased electrification, leads to new challenges in continuously balancing demand and supply of electricity.
