TagEnergy will next month begin construction of what it describes as France’s “largest battery energy storage platform”, a 240MW/480MWh project in the Municipality of Cernay-lès-Reims. Tesla will “contribute its expertise in advanced storage solutions and market access services,” a TagEnergy statement said.
This project marks Envision Energy's first independent battery energy storage contract in France, following recent successes in Europe. Beginning construction in June 2025, Envision Energy will supply a minimum of a 14 year long-term maintenance (LTSA) agreement, providing continuous presence in the region beyond the construction phase.
In October, TagEnergy energised the 100MW/200MWh Lakeside battery energy storage system (BESS) – which it says is the “largest transmission-connected BESS project in the UK” – in Drax, North Yorkshire. TagEnergy is to begin construction of France’s “largest battery energy storage platform”, a 240MW/480MWh project in Cernay-lès-Reims.
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. France had 90MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 359MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in France, according to GlobalData’s power database.
