Netherlands' climate minister has allocated €100 million in subsidies to the deployment of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology.
That compares to the effective 100% requirement that solar-plus-storage projects used to need in order to qualify for an investment tax credit (ITC) in the US, and still do for Germany's Innovation Tender. The subsidy is needed because BESS co-located with PV are 'not profitable', the government said.
Installed solar capacity in the Netherlands reached 23.9 GW in 2023, a 4.3 GW annual growth. This was a sign of deceleration compared to previous years due to grid saturation and regulatory changes that affected utility-scale installations.
The Netherlands had an average installed solar capacity of 0.71 MW/km², with Zwijndrecht reaching over 5 MW/km². As of 2022, rooftop installations accounted for 1.8 GW in the residential sector and 1.3 GW in the commercial sector, while ground-mounted and floating projects contributed 0.9 GW.
PJSC Inter RAO at the Kashirskaya GRES power plant and Gazprom Energoholding LLC at the TPP-25 and TPP-26 plants in Moscow will implement projects to build new power units with a total capacity of 950 MW. .
