Construction starts on 440MWh of Tesla battery storage in Belgium
Work started in October, and the project in La Louvière is scheduled to be operational by summer 2026 and will require an investment of around €70 million (US$72 million).
Once completed, the four-hour battery energy storage project will operate under a 15-year contract with Elia, Belgium's electricity grid operator, and be located next to Engie's gas power plant in Vilvoorde. From pv magazine ESS News site
