New 140 MWh battery storage facility opens in La Louvière
A 140 MWh battery park featuring 36 large modules has been inaugurated at the Duferco site in La Louvière to support renewable energy integration.
A new 140 megawatt-hour battery storage facility has been officially opened on the Duferco industrial site in La Louvière. Installed by energy storage firm BSTOR, the park features 36 large-scale battery modules designed to stabilize the electricity grid and support the integration of renewable energy sources.
The facility's total capacity is equivalent to the daily electricity consumption of approximately 7,000 households, or two hours of maximum output from eight wind turbines. Project operators noted that the installation will help balance power supply fluctuations at a lower cost while strengthening the local grid infrastructure.
