TINC has invested EUR 23 million in two greenfield BESS projects in Belgium totaling 300 MW / 1,200 MWh, with a total project value of EUR 330 million. The assets, located in Ruien (Kluisbergen) and Langerlo (Genk), are being developed and operated by Storm, backed by lenders including KBC, ING, Rabobank, Santander, and Societe Generale.

The shift: capital is moving toward large, lender-backed BESS platforms rather than single-site storage assets.

Both projects are fully financed at scale, combining institutional equity (TINC, PMV, I4B) with syndicated debt, signaling that grid-ready, multi-site storage portfolios are now bankable infrastructure. This aligns with broader trends where investors favor de-risked, execution-ready storage assets with clear revenue visibility over early-stage pipelines .

TINC’s repeat partnership with Storm-including over 200 MW of wind investments since 2011—highlights a second pattern: capital is consolidating around proven developers with delivery track records.

Across Europe, similar behavior is emerging, with BESS transactions surging as investors target scalable, grid-integrated storage portfolios .

Commercially, this matters because battery assets are transitioning from optional flexibility tools to core grid infrastructure, attracting project finance at scale.

Signal: Belgium is becoming a bankable BESS market, where institutional investors are building GW-scale storage platforms-not standalone assets.
