4 Frequently Asked Questions about "15MWh Energy Storage Container for French Highways"

How much battery capacity will France have in 2030?

Looking to 2030, France could exceed 4.7 GW of installed capacity, with both high-voltage and low-voltage buildout playing structural roles. France's battery operational fleet is growing and starting to shift to longer durations At the end of Q3 2025, France had just over 1.32 GW of operational grid-scale batteries.

What is the largest ESS in France?

The 25 megawatt-hour (MWh) facility at Dunkirk is the largest ESS in France and is part of TotalEnergies' strategy to develop a portfolio of low-carbon electricity operations.

How many high energy containers did Saft supply?

Saft supplied 11 Intensium® Max 20 High Energy containers, while Omexom delivered power conversion systems (PCSs), medium-voltage transformer, power management system (PMS), SCADA, civil works and cabling. Saft sized the ESS to provide the required power at any State of Charge (SOC) and throughout its operational lifetime.

How does totalenergies participate in the French 'frequency containment reserves' market?

As owner and operator of the ESS, TotalEnergies participates in the French “Frequency Containment Reserves” (FCR) market through its subsidiary TotalEnergies Flexible Power Solutions, who trades four-hour blocks of FCR on a day-ahead basis.
