About MVA Energy

MVA Energy

MVA Energy is developing utility-scale battery storage systems which it will build, own and operate to power the energy transition.
Battery storage allows power produced now to be stored for use later. It will be essential for a decarbonised and reliable energy grid in Belgium.

MVA Energy has in depth knowledge and understanding of the technical and commercial sides of battery development and operation. MVA Energy aims to operate in accordance with the highest governance standards, involving all interested parties, namely regulatory, municipal and environmental entities.

Why Belgium?

Why does Belgium need battery storage?

Battery storage drives decarbonisation of the power system by storing excess renewable power, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.

Battery storage provides stabilising services to the grid, by managing frequency, voltage and electricity supply and demand. This helps provide a reliable and secure electricity grid for all.

Supporting Renewable Energy Integration

Battery storage is crucial for maximizing the efficiency of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. By storing surplus energy during high production periods and making it available during times of lower production, battery storage ensures a steady energy supply and facilitates the seamless integration of renewables into the energy system.

Enhancing Grid Stability

Battery storage enhances the reliability of the energy grid by quickly addressing fluctuations in electricity supply and demand. By balancing energy flow in real time, it helps maintain a stable and secure power grid, ensuring a dependable energy supply for all users.

Project

What is a battery storage project?

Battery storage systems are made up of many individual battery cells, linked together and connected to the electricity grid. They can import electricity when there is extra renewable power being generated, and export this electricity when there is less renewable generation available.

MVA Energy’s battery assets will connect to strategic locations on the Belgian electricity grid, to provide maximum support to the network to support the transition to a lower carbon power system.

Characteristics

High safety and security standards

Battery storage systems are equipped with advanced safety features to reduce risk of incidents, including fire. Extensive monitoring, technology and contingency plans will be in place to mitigate any risks.

Limited noise impact

Battery storage systems generally produce minimal noise, and most systems are designed with noise reduction features, ensuring very low levels of noise during operation.

Limited contribution to traffic

Once installed, battery storage systems require minimal ongoing maintenance, generating minimal traffic.

Limited visual impact

Battery storage systems are compact and can be designed to blend in with their surroundings. Landscaping can also minimise the impact of battery storage on the surrounding area.

Land use

Battery storage assets occupy relatively little land compared to other energy infrastructure projects, and can be installed on unused industrial land or near existing electricity infrastructure, minimising disruption to the community.

Limited environmental impact

Systems do not emit pollutants during operations, and construction is carefully managed to minimise environmental impact.
