France GES2024
Specifically, the French Energy Code, which includes regulations related to electricity (its generation and related aspects), also covers energy storage based on batteries or other forms.
In contrast, France has one of the lowest annual grid investment plans. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are playing an increasingly vital role in France's energy transition, supporting grid stability and enabling greater integration of renewable energy.
Lisbon-headquartered renewable energy company TagEnergy has launched construction of France's biggest battery energy storage system (BESS). Tesla will contribute to the project also, offering market access services and its expertise in advanced storage solutions.
France has one of Europe's most connected grids, a potential advantage for power trading across markets. But, for BESS, strong interconnection cuts both ways. Since interconnectors and storage both provide flexibility, storage faces tougher competition and narrower margins.
After previous triumphs in Europe, this project represents Envision Energy's first independent battery energy storage contract in France. Envision Energy will provide a minimum of a 14-year long-term maintenance (LTSA) agreement, starting construction in June 2025, ensuring ongoing presence in the area once the construction phase is complete.
