Alfen & Centrica to build 24MW Belgian storage facility
Energy storage company Alfen and Centrica Business Solutions are working together to build Centrica’s first battery storage development project in mainland Europe - a 24MW / 54MWh facility in Ostend, Belgium - as the company expands its portfolio of energy assets outside of the UK for the first time.
The battery, situated on land at Ostend Basic Chemicals, will have the capacity to store energy and power 48,000 homes for two hours.
Work on this project will begin in 2023 with the site set to be at full capacity by early 2024. Alfen will manage design, supply, civil works, installation, tests and long-term maintenance.
