Tesla Megapacks Arrive at 400 MWh Battery Storage Project in Belgium
A grid-scale storage project in Langerlo, Genk (Belgium), has begun receiving Tesla Megapack 2 units. Reports indicate that most of the 106 XL batteries are now ready for deployment. The site can deliver up to 100 MW for four hours, with a total capacity of 400 MWh, and occupies the grounds of a former coal-fired power plant. Completion is expected in 2027. Developer Storm is investing about 330 million euros in Langerlo and another site in Ruien.…
- Langerlo: 400 MWh and up to 100 MW for four hours in Genk.
- Tesla deployed 13.7 GWh in Q3 2026, with revenue of $2.88 billion.
🔎 Why it matters: Langerlo adds 400 MWh with Megapack 2 XL units in Genk, storing electricity when supply exceeds demand and releasing it when demand rises.
📈 Upside: It repurposes the grounds of a former coal-fired power plant that burned its last coal in March 2016 and connects to the grid via existing connections.
📉 Risk: Only most of the 106 XL batteries are ready and construction concludes in 2027, so full operation remains pending.
