Dutch Consortium SLDBatt Aims for Sub-€50/kWh Long-Duration Energy Storage with Innovative Battery Technologies
The SLDBatt project in the Netherlands is focused on developing long-duration energy storage solutions that can store renewable energy for 8 to 100 hours, aiming to reduce costs to below €50/kWh. With over €30 million in funding, the initiative involves collaboration among Dutch start-ups, industrial partners, and academic institutions to advance battery technologies and address grid congestion issues. Coordinated by Battery Competence Cluster NL, it represents the country's largest R&D effort in battery technology.

The SLDBatt project in the Netherlands is developing long-duration energy storage (LDES) solutions capable of storing renewable energy for 8 to 100 hours. Funded by over €30 million from the Nationaal Groeifonds and RvO, it is the country's largest R&D initiative focused on battery technologies.
The project seeks to lower storage costs and scale up technologies from Dutch start-ups AQUABATTERY, Elestor, and Exergy Storage, alongside industrial partners like Nobian and RWE, and academic institutions including Eindhoven University of Technology and Delft University of Technology. Coordinated by Battery Competence Cluster NL (BCC-NL), the project aims to deploy TRL 7 battery technologies with a target cost below €50/kWh to address grid congestion issues.
