AMSTERDAM, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluence Energy B.V. ("Fluence"), a subsidiary of Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNC), has been selected by ENGIE to deliver a 35 MW / 100 MWh battery-based energy storage project at the Maxima power plant in Lelystad, the Netherlands.
The advanced battery energy storage project is located at a site with different types of power generation. It is expected to come into operation in 2025. The project is anticipated to provide critical flexibility to the Dutch electricity system and, through this, increase energy security.
Fluence will supply the energy storage technology, software solutions, and services for the project. For Fluence Energy, Inc.'s global operations, this will be another project with ENGIE, following the successful commissioning of the 150 MW / 150 MWh Hazelwood project, Australia's largest-privately funded utility-scale battery, in mid-2023.
The Dutch government is committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 49% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, and achieving a 95% reduction by 2050, as outlined in the 2019 Climate Act. To accomplish these goals and ensure the stability of the Dutch electricity grid, its transmission system operator outlined that at least 9 GW of battery energy storage capacity by 2030 and 40-70 GW by 2050 will have to be brought online in the Netherlands.
The Maxima power plant site is well situated for large-scale battery-based energy storage system. The site itself already has an energy hub with a 900 MW gas-fired power plant and a 32 MW solar farm. Once the energy storage system is operational, excess energy will be stored locally and released during peak demand. With this approach, ENGIE expects to combine the generation and storage of renewable energy with the electricity production of the Maxima power plant. This will help increase security of supply and provide more flexibility in the energy system.
"We are proud to partner again with ENGIE to deploy this critical project in the Netherlands. Positioning battery storage alongside different types of generation technologies strengthens their interplay to maintain grid stability as the energy transition accelerates. Fluence was an early pioneer in the Netherlands in the deployment of advanced battery-based energy storage. With our continued investment locally, we look forward to working with customers and stakeholders in the Netherlands to advance the role of energy storage," said Paul McCusker, SVP & President EMEA at Fluence.
"We are very pleased to announce that Fluence will supply storage technology for this battery park project. The energy mix of the future leads to a complex energy landscape. Numerous different factors need to simultaneously balance the demand and supply of electricity, while the infrastructure must support transportation for decentralised electricity generation and consumption. The current energy system is still not adequately equipped for this. This results in unwanted consequences, such as stops on new grid connections for businesses and new residential areas, as well as the curtailment of wind and solar parks. Battery energy storage systems are essential to avoid these consequences in the future,'' said Harry Talen, Plant Manager ENGIE Maxima.

阿姆斯特丹，2024年4月11日（環球新聞專線）——Fluence Energy, Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：FLNC）的子公司Fluence Energy B.V.（“Fluence”）已被ENGIE選中在荷蘭萊利斯塔德的Maxima發電廠交付35兆瓦/100兆瓦時的電池儲能項目。
先進的電池儲能項目位於具有不同發電類型的地點。它預計將於2025年投入運營。預計該項目將爲荷蘭電力系統提供至關重要的靈活性，並通過此提高能源安全。
Fluence將爲該項目提供儲能技術、軟件解決方案和服務。爲 Fluence Energy, Inc.在全球運營方面，這將是繼2023年中期澳大利亞最大的私人資助的公用事業規模電池150兆瓦/150兆瓦時黑茲爾伍德項目成功投產之後，這將是ENGIE的又一個項目。
正如2019年氣候法案所述，荷蘭政府承諾到2030年將二氧化碳排放量與1990年的水平相比減少49％，到2050年實現95％的減排。爲了實現這些目標並確保荷蘭電網的穩定，其輸電系統運營商概述說，到2030年，荷蘭必須至少有9吉瓦的電池儲能容量上線，到2050年必須有40-70吉瓦的電池儲能容量上線。
Maxima 發電廠場地地理位置優越，可容納基於電池的大型儲能系統。該場地本身已經有一個能源中心，裏面有一座900兆瓦的燃氣發電廠和一個32兆瓦的太陽能發電廠。儲能系統投入運行後，多餘的能量將存儲在本地，並在需求高峰期間釋放。通過這種方法，ENGIE希望將可再生能源的產生和存儲與Maxima發電廠的電力生產相結合。這將有助於提高供應安全性，爲能源系統提供更大的靈活性。
“我們很榮幸再次與ENGIE合作，在荷蘭部署這個關鍵項目。將電池存儲與不同類型的發電技術結合使用可增強其相互作用，從而在能源轉型加速時保持電網穩定性。Fluence 是荷蘭部署先進電池儲能的早期先驅。通過我們在當地的持續投資，我們期待與荷蘭的客戶和利益相關者合作，推進儲能的作用。” Fluence高級副總裁兼歐洲、中東和非洲總裁Paul McCusker說。
“我們很高興地宣佈，Fluence將爲這個電池園項目提供存儲技術。未來的能源結構將導致複雜的能源格局。許多不同的因素需要同時平衡電力的需求和供應，而基礎設施必須支持分散式發電和消費的交通。當前的能源系統仍然沒有爲此做好充分的準備。這會導致不良後果，例如企業和新住宅區的新電網連接中斷，以及風能和太陽能園區的縮減。電池儲能系統對於避免將來發生這些後果至關重要。” ENGIE Maxima工廠經理哈里·塔倫說。
