Why is Belgium a good place to invest in a battery?
Other factors that make Belgium an appealing location for battery investments are the exemption of TSO grid fees and high revenues from balancing market (mainly FCR and aFRR),” Simon De Clercq, senior research associate at Aurora Energy Research, told ESS News.
Should battery storage players participate in CRM auctions?
“There appears to be room for battery storage players to participate even more in the CRM auctions. Nearly 1.5 GW of capacity remains to be procured for the - delivery period through the Y-1 and Y-2 auctions, presenting significant opportunities for battery projects,” De Clerq says.
How is equans contributing to Belgium's energy transition?

What is a derating factor in a battery bid?
“The duration of the battery will result in a different derating factor of the bid,” De Clerq said. The derating factor is a percentage that reflects how much of a project’s total capacity is “usable” for ensuring grid reliability during periods of high demand or stress.
