Find answers to common questions about energy storage cabinets, outdoor cabinets, telecom cabinets, battery systems, and industrial BESS solutions in South Africa.

Is France becoming a more attractive market for battery energy storage systems?

This report explores how France is becoming a more attractive market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). The French electricity system is dominated by nuclear and hydropower, which results in lower volatility – typically a driver of battery economics.

What is France's largest battery energy storage system (BESS)?

Leading battery storage developer Harmony Energy is set to deliver France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS)—the Cheviré battery project – using Tesla Megapack technology. The project will mark a significant milestone for the French energy system, being France’s first large-scale 2-hour battery.

How much energy does France have?

According to the European Commission, France currently has 400 megawatt (MW) of grid-scale BESS capacity installed, with another 760MW in the pipeline – 360MW of which is under construction. Interestingly, around 600MW of distributed energy storage, installed at electric vehicle charging stations, is also connected to the French grid.

How will renewables affect the French electricity system?

This increase in intermittent renewable capacity will have a substantial impact on the grid, especially during sunny and windy periods. We expect that the growth in renewables will boost flexibility needs in the French electricity system, creating more demand for BESS. Note: * Includes pumped hydro storage.
