Europe’s largest energy storage system featuring Eaton, Nissan, The Mobility House and BAM now live in the world-famous Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam
2:39
The largest European energy storage system using second-life and new electric vehicle batteries in a commercial building is now live. This unique project is the result of collaboration between Eaton, Nissan, BAM, The Mobility House and the Johan Cruijff ArenA, supported by the Amsterdam Climate and Energy Fund (AKEF) and Interreg. The 3 megawatt storage system provides a more reliable and efficient energy supply and usage for the stadium, its visitors, neighbors and the Dutch energy grid. Combining Eaton power conversion units and the equivalent of 148 Nissan LEAF batteries, the energy storage system not only enables a more sustainable energy system, it also creates a circular economy for electric vehicle batteries. The energy storage system plays an important role in balancing supply and demand of energy in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The storage system has a total capacity of 3 megawatt, enough to power several thousand households. This capacity also means that the energy produced by the 4,200 solar panels on the roof of the ArenA can also be stored and used optimally. The energy storage system will provide back-up power, reducing the use of diesel generators, and provide relief to the energy grid by flattening the peaks that occur during concerts.

Bringing energy to the stadium is just as important to us as it is to the fans. And we don't stop there. We're out on the fairways and all along the racetrack too. See how we help make game day possible at https://eaton.works/38avU4Z #WhatMatters
