440MWh of Tesla Megapacks Headed to Belgium 

Belgium’s aggressive push into battery storage is intriguing. 440MWh more capacity coming online, utilizing Tesla Megapacks, raises some interesting questions. Is Belgium becoming a model for grid stability in Europe, showcasing how to effectively integrate renewables? Or are they over-investing, potentially facing stranded assets down the line? With the D-STOR project relying on Tesla and Eneco, are they putting too many eggs in one basket? What are the long-term implications of such heavy reliance on specific vendors? Furthermore, will this spark a competitive “arms race” among European nations to build storage capacity? I predict we’ll see other countries trying to replicate Belgium’s strategy, but with potentially different technology choices. What technologies will they favor? Will we see a diverse mix or a consolidation around a few key players? I'm curious to hear what others think about the potential ripple effects of this development across the European energy landscape.
