Given the strategic nature of the battery industry and its economic significance, the emergence of a French industrial offer has been France’s top priority. In 2018, France launched the Plan Batteries, subsequently extended by France 2030, aimed at accelerating the development of a national battery industry.
European demand for batteries is growing fast and is set to increase 14-fold by 2030, mainly driven by the electrification of transport. Given the strategic nature of the battery industry and its economic significance, the emergence of a French industrial offer has been France’s top priority.
The 100 MW project is announced as the first large-scale, two-hour duration battery in France. The project will employ Tesla Megapack and Autobidder technology. From ESS News UK-based renewables developer Harmony Energy is looking to deliver France’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS)—the Cheviré project – using Tesla Megapack technology.
Today, France’s efforts are focused on attracting projects covering the entire battery value chain in order to establish a comprehensive national offering. This ambitious vision is underpinned by a proactive policy addressing both supply and demand in the battery market. Strong financial support for industrialization on the battery value chain
In 2018, France launched the Plan Batteries, subsequently extended by France 2030, aimed at accelerating the development of a national battery industry. This ambitious strategy has enabled France to attract investment for six gigafactories: ACC, Envision, Verkor, Prologium, Tiamat and Blue Solutions.
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.”
