Does Energy-Nederland need a gas storage facility?

Gas Storage Energie-Nederland emphasizes the importance of gas storage facilities for security of supply, but notes that they are not automatically filled. In 2022, interventions were necessary due to high gas prices. For Bergermeer, Energie-Nederland proposes to fill the volume with an alternative solution.

Will energy Beheer Nederland fill Bergermeer's storage capacity in 2023/2024?

In 2022, Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN, Energy Management Netherlands) was tasked with filling this leftover capacity. Due to the importance of utilizing the volume in Bergermeer, Energie-Nederland proposed to use this solution in 2023/2024 as well. An incentive mechanism for the remaining storage portion of Bergermeer must also be established.

What makes Rotterdam a good power plant?

Commissioned in 2015, the Rotterdam power plant is one of the cleanest and most efficient in the world, with a net capacity of 731 MW and an efficiency rate of 45 percent. The latest filter and combustion technologies ensure that the energy sources are utilised with the utmost efficiency and emission levels remain low.

Should Energy-Nederland subsidize batteries?

Energie-Nederland recognizes and acknowledges that batteries are needed in a future energy system. However, these should not be promoted as separate entities. The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) has shown that subsidizing batteries is not cost-effective in achieving carbon reductions.

Why does Energie-Nederland prefer a subsidy mechanism?

Energie-Nederland’s preference lies in a subsidy mechanism to reduce the value gap of filling the gas storage facilities. Producers and consumers of hydrogen do not always move at the same rate of production and consumption. This requires a buffer.
