Paris, December 21st, 2021 – TotalEnergies has launched the largest battery-based energy storage facility in France. Located at the Flandres center in Dunkirk, this site, which responds to the need for grid stabilization, has a power capacity of 61 MW and a total storage capacity of 61 megawatt hours (MWh).
France also shares common frequency regulation markets with much of Europe and some of these, notably the newly-introduced automated Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR), are being seen as important revenue streams that could be stacked to further the business case for battery storage in the continent.
Battery storage deployment has not been as fast in France, or indeed much of mainland Europe, as it has been in markets like the US, UK and latterly Australia. RTE is conducting a pilot project, called Project RINGO, which will see just under 100MWh of battery storage deployed across three French sites that act as virtual transmission assets.

The battery energy storage system (BESS) was already France’s biggest system of its type — at 25MW / 25MWh — when it was inaugurated in January 2021.
Said Harmony Energy CEO for France Andy Symonds in a release: “Developing and operating vital battery energy storage facilities across France, will lead to enhanced energy security, more affordable energy bills, and the decarbonisation of the grid. We are excited to commence building works on our first project.”
