6 FAQs about [French Southern Territories store solar energy]

Where is France's largest battery energy storage system located?

reported a while back on the completion of an expansion at continental France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project. BESS capacity at the TotalEnergies refinery site in Dunkirk, northern France, is now 61MW/61MWh over two phases, with the most recent 36MW/36MWh addition completed shortly before the end of 2021

Does France have a solar energy sector?

The exponential growth of the solar photovoltaic energy sector in France has never stopped since its inception in the early 2000s. In 2022, the PV energy capacity in France amounted to approximately 17 gigawatts, making France the fifth European country for cumulative PV capacity that year.

Is totalenergies the biggest battery storage project in France?

The energy major has 103MW of capacity market contracted energy storage online or coming online in France. Interestingly however, despite presiding over the single biggest project in the country, TotalEnergies sits second in Clean Horizon’s chart of France’s most prolific (publicly announced) battery storage project owners and developers.

How much solar power does France have in 2022?

In 2022, the PV energy capacity in France amounted to approximately 17 gigawatts, making France the fifth European country for cumulative PV capacity that year. Despite this high ranking, the solar PV power generation was still behind hydropower and wind renewable energy production.

Will 900MW of battery storage be online in France?

Image: TotalEnergies. Close to 900MW of publicly announced battery storage projects will be online in continental France by the end of next year and although the country lags behind its nearest northern neighbour, the business case for battery storage is growing.

Is France a good place to invest in battery storage assets?

This is all the more encouraging because unlike the UK, there are only two revenue streams available for battery storage assets in France today. The other is frequency control reserve (FCR), aka primary control reserve (PCR), what could be seen as the first rung of the ancillary services ladder.
