Batteries and other flexible resources for power grids, ENGIE's strategy

To achieve its strategic ambition of being the benchmark energy provider for the energy transition, ENGIE has set itself a target of 10GW of battery storage. Convinced that seasonal and short-term flexibility are essential to the resilience of energy systems, ENGIE's teams have already identified a pipelineof BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) projects in 10 countries to complement the Group's thermal and hydro assets. Sébastien Arbola, Executive Vice President of ENGIE and responsible for ENGIE's acquisition in August 2023 of Broad Reach Power, a Californian company operating at the time 350MW, will detail ENGIE's vision for developing power system flexibility tools worldwide.
