Do you want to join a fast-growing, early mover in BESS where you can have true autonomy and impact?

If that’s a yes then this could be the opportunity for YOU!

We’re delighted to be partnering with our client, BSTOR, Belgium’s leading independent stationary battery storage project development, financing and ownership boutique, backed by a well-established cohort of strategic investors and financing stakeholders.

BSTOR have developed, financed and own 75% of the first battery project connected to the Belgian high voltage grid, in operation in Bastogne since 2021: EStor‑Lux (10MW - 20 MWh). BSTOR also recently announced financial close and start of construction for a 50 MW – 140 MWh project in La Louvière and for a 100 MW-270 MWh project in Aubange. Commissioning of both projects is expected in 2026.

BSTOR’s ambition is to remain the frontrunner in battery development and financing in Belgium and has secured a >GW scale pipe of land and grid connection rights in various stages of development beyond these 3 projects. BSTOR’s intention is also to initiate on short to mid-term international diversification and diversification towards the behind-the-meter business model.
