The Challenge
ENGIE aims to enhance energy flexibility and grid reliability by constructing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near the Maxima Power Plant in the Netherlands. The challenge lies in integrating this advanced storage solution into the existing energy infrastructure while ensuring high performance and operational safety from the outset.
The Solution
Tractebel has been entrusted with an Owner’s Engineering mission from the start of the construction phase. Our role includes design review, technical supervision, and quality assurance—ensuring that the BESS is delivered in line with ENGIE’s specifications and international best practices.
The Impact
Battery Energy Storage Systems like this one play a crucial role in strengthening grid resilience and stability. They enable the power grid to better absorb fluctuations, recover quickly from disruptions, and maintain a reliable electricity supply—supporting the broader transition to a low-carbon energy system.
