In Short : Sungrow has supplied Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for an ENGIE project in Belgium. This collaboration aims to enhance the energy storage capacity and stability of the Belgian power grid, supporting the integration of renewable energy sources and contributing to the region’s sustainable energy goals.
In Detail : Sungrow, a leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, announced the supply of its liquid-cooled BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) solution, the PowerTitan, for the 800MWh Vilvoorde BESS project in Belgium.
The project will be developed by ENGIE.
The system will have a power capacity of 200MW/800MWh. It is the first BESS project Sungrow will supply in Belgium. Set for a grid connection in 2025 this project will deliver power to up to 96,000 households. Sungrow will supply 320 units of its liquid-cooled energy storage system PowerTitan for the ENGIE BESS project in Vilvoorde.
Due to the compact design and the pre-assembled delivery, the PowerTitan saves 50 percent of on-site installation time. Moreover, due to its back-to-back installation scheme, the small footprint makes the system especially efficient for large ESS plants.
James Li, Sungrow’s ESS Director Europe, said: “Sungrow is delighted to begin this new project together with ENGIE and to deliver our first BESS project in Belgium – one of the first storage projects of this size in Europe.”
In 2023, Sungrow said its PowerTitan ESS series has achieved shipments of over 10,5GWh worldwide, supporting the adoption of utility-scale storage systems across the energy industry.
