In the context of the global active exploration of sustainable energy development, the Netherlands has always been an active participant in the field of renewable energy. It is committed to expanding the utilization of renewable energy and plans to phase out coal by 2030. Thanks to its unique geographical advantages, the Netherlands has made remarkable progress in wind and solar power generation. In 2024, the electricity generation from renewable energy in the Netherlands increased by 11% driven by photovoltaic solar energy and wind energy, and green energy accounted for 54% of the total electricity generation.
However, with the continuous increase in the penetration rate of new energy, the Netherlands also faces some challenges. The problem of grid congestion is becoming more and more serious, and almost the entire grid in the Netherlands is operating at full capacity. Newly built residential photovoltaic projects need to wait longer to be connected to the grid. At the same time, the high cost of the charging grid also greatly reduces the commercial viability of large-scale energy storage projects. In 2024, the new energy storage capacity in the Netherlands was only 20 MWh.
Nevertheless, challenges and opportunities coexist. The current situation of the grid also provides room for the development of industrial and commercial energy storage. Industrial and commercial energy storage can store electricity during low-power consumption periods and release it during peak-power consumption periods. It can not only help enterprises reduce electricity costs but also relieve the pressure on the grid and improve energy utilization efficiency. As a result, more and more industrial and commercial energy storage owners in the Netherlands are beginning to pay attention to and invest in energy storage systems.
Challenges Faced by Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage Owners in the Netherlands
Although the industrial and commercial energy storage market in the Netherlands has great potential, industrial and commercial energy storage owners also face a series of challenges in actual operation.
Cost Pressure
The initial investment cost of energy storage equipment is relatively high, which is a considerable burden for many enterprises. For example, for a medium-sized industrial and commercial energy storage system, the total cost of procurement, installation, and commissioning may be as high as hundreds of thousands of euros. Moreover, the payback period of the energy storage system is relatively long and is affected by various factors such as electricity price policies and market demand. If the cost cannot be effectively reduced, it will have a significant impact on the profitability of the owners.
Dilemma of Energy Utilization Efficiency
New energy power generation has the characteristics of intermittency and volatility, and the electricity consumption needs of industrial and commercial users also have differences between peak and off-peak periods. This leads to a mismatch between energy supply and demand in terms of time, resulting in energy waste and increased costs. How to improve energy utilization efficiency and achieve optimal energy allocation is an important issue that industrial and commercial energy storage owners in the Netherlands need to solve.
Elecnova's Energy Storage System Solution
Facing the various challenges of industrial and commercial energy storage owners in the Netherlands, Elecnova, with its advanced energy storage technology and rich industry experience, has customized a comprehensive energy storage system solution for industrial and commercial energy storage owners in the Netherlands, aiming to help owners maximize their interests.
High Safety and Reliability Design
The Elecnova energy storage system adopts a number of advanced safety designs to ensure the stable operation of the system from the source. In terms of battery materials, lithium iron phosphate battery cells with high safety and strong stability are selected, which have excellent thermal stability and can effectively reduce the risk of thermal runaway. At the same time, the system is equipped with an independently developed advanced battery management system (BMS) and energy management system (EMS). The BMS can monitor key parameters such as the voltage, current, and temperature of the battery in real time, and precisely control the charging and discharging of the battery to prevent abnormal situations such as overcharging, over-discharging, and over-current. The EMS is responsible for optimizing the management of the energy flow of the entire energy storage system to ensure that the system can operate efficiently under various working conditions.
In addition, the Elecnova energy storage system is also equipped with a complete fire protection system and comprehensive supervision measures. Once an abnormal situation is detected, the fire protection system can be quickly activated to effectively suppress the occurrence and spread of fires. At the same time, through the remote monitoring platform, operation and maintenance personnel can grasp the operation status of the system in real time, discover and solve potential problems in a timely manner, greatly reducing safety risks and potential losses.
Support for Diversified Profit Models
Peak-valley Arbitrage: There is an obvious difference between peak and valley electricity prices in the Dutch electricity market. The Elecnova energy storage system can take advantage of this feature to charge during low electricity price periods and discharge during high electricity price periods, achieving arbitrage through the peak-valley price difference. For example, during low-power consumption periods such as at night, the energy storage system charges at a lower electricity price and stores electricity. During peak-power consumption periods in the daytime, it releases the stored electricity for enterprises to use, avoiding enterprises from purchasing electricity from the grid at a higher electricity price. In this way, enterprises can significantly reduce their electricity costs and increase their economic benefits.
New Energy Consumption: For enterprises equipped with photovoltaic power generation facilities, the Elecnova energy storage system can effectively smooth out the fluctuations in photovoltaic power generation. When the sunlight is sufficient, the excess photovoltaic power generation is stored. When the sunlight is insufficient or the electricity demand is relatively large, the stored electricity is released to improve the consumption rate of photovoltaic power generation and reduce the phenomenon of abandoned light, thereby reducing the enterprise's dependence on the traditional grid and further reducing electricity costs.
Distribution Network Capacity Expansion and Capacity Management: Many enterprises face the problem of insufficient distribution network capacity during their development. If they want to expand the capacity of the transformer, not only is the investment cost high, but also the construction period is long. The Elecnova energy storage system can be used as a flexible solution to provide additional power support for enterprises during peak-power consumption periods, reducing the enterprise's demand for transformer capacity and the cost of using the transformer. In addition, through reasonable capacity management strategies, it can also help enterprises reduce the expenditure of demand electricity fees and further reduce operating costs.
Frequency Regulation and Power Auxiliary Services: In the Dutch electricity market, the frequency regulation and power auxiliary services market provides a new profit channel for energy storage systems. The Elecnova energy storage system, with its fast response characteristics and precise adjustment ability, can participate in the frequency regulation of the power system and other auxiliary services. When the grid frequency fluctuates, the energy storage system can quickly charge and discharge to adjust the power balance of the grid and maintain the frequency stability, thereby obtaining corresponding economic compensation and bringing additional income to enterprises.
Enjoying Preferences in Line with Policies
The Dutch government has introduced a series of policy supports to encourage the development of renewable energy and the improvement of energy efficiency, including the KIA (Small-scale Investment Tax Reduction) and EIA (Energy Investment Tax Reduction) policies. The Elecnova energy storage system fully meets the requirements of these policies and can help owners enjoy preferential policies such as tax exemptions.
Under the KIA policy, small and medium-sized enterprises in the Netherlands, that is, enterprises with an annual investment of no more than 10 million euros, can enjoy tax exemptions according to relevant regulations when investing in the Elecnova energy storage system. This greatly reduces the initial investment cost of enterprises and improves the return on investment of the project.
The EIA policy supports the application of energy-saving and renewable energy technologies. Enterprises that invest in the Elecnova energy storage system can deduct 40% of the investment amount from their taxes as long as they meet the conditions such as the investment equipment meeting the energy efficiency standards specified by the government and being included in the EIA certification list. This undoubtedly saves a large amount of money for enterprises.
