France to have the largest battery energy storage system in the world

In a recent statement, Harmony Energy announced that it will implement the largest battery energy storage system in France . The Cheviré project, which will use advanced technology from Tesla Megapack, represents a significant breakthrough for the country’s energy sector, being the first large-scale battery system designed to operate for two consecutive hours.

Cheviré Project boosts clean energy

Located on the former site of the Cheviré power plant in the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire, this new 100 MW / 200 MWh project marks a remarkable change from its industrial past based on fossil fuels. fossil fuel-based industrial past to a renewable energy infrastructure.

The system is expected to provide enough power to sustain approximately 170,000 households for two hours, exceeding the total population of Nantes.
