Energy Storage
Energy storage, an indispensable element of renewable ecosystems, is at the heart of new energy networks in all its forms, and will enable us to effectively pursue a policy of resilience and energy independence. This sector is in full expansion and presents high added value to be captured.
The role of these energy buffers will become increasingly important, both from a technical flexibility standpoint and from an economic perspective. In Wallonia, the new CWaPE 2025–2029 tariff methodology, for example, encourages the use of storage volumes in order to better phase (flexible) consumption with (renewable) production, thereby enabling better penetration of these volumes within our network infrastructure.
Over recent years, Cluster TWEED has supported around ten energy storage projects. These projects concern both innovation, with new energy conservation and/or conversion technologies, and investment, with an approach oriented towards valorising renewables through innovative models (shared energy pooling, services for networks (DSO/TSO), optimisation of intermittent production, …).
Whether through pressure, temperature, molecules, gravity or electricity, a storage technology is present in the vast majority of projects monitored by Cluster TWEED and often enables the financial viability of the supported model.
