What the sources say

Conflict: RTV Dordrecht (13 June 2025, updated 9 March 2026) gives 90 MW, which is probably the MWh figure misread. Energy Storage NL lists commissioning 01-01-2026. Return's Antares article says a Dispatch 45 MW / 90 MWh project 'has since been energised'.; Status set to commissioning: energised by 9 June 2026, commercial operation not reported. No new source found on 20 October 2026. 45 MW and 90 MWh; no source supports 90 MW. Energised in June 2026; Dispatch gives the third quarter and the end of 2026 for commercial operation, and nothing yet confirms it has begun.

Evidence and sources

From the owners’, developers’ and builders’ own releases, grid operators’ and permit notices and the trade press, read by Vitreous. No Dutch body publishes a meter, an instruction or a payment for a named battery, so this page carries none. List id NL-B21.
