Located in the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire Harbour, the 100 MW / 200 MWh facility marks a major step forward for France's renewable energy ambitions, becoming the country's first large-scale, two-hour duration battery storage system.

The company will deploy Tesla Megapacks for the 2-hour 'Cheviré' project in Nantes Saint-Nazaire Harbour, western France, the first large-scale 2-hour system in the country, Harmony said.
Total has announced the largest battery-energy storage project in France - a 25 MWh/25 MW system to be installed later this year in Mardyck, at the Flandres Center, in Dunkirk's port district.
What is the energy storage project in Belgium?
The main energy storage project in Belgium is the construction and operation of an offshore “energy atoll” (essentially a manmade offshore pumped-storage facility), for which the Electricity Act has been modified in 2014 (see below), in order to support offshore wind-generated electricity production.
