Gasunie said that several market participants reserved capacity for large-scale hydrogen storage at Zuidwending in Groningen, the Netherlands during HyStock’s “Open Season“ process. The requested reservations far outbid the offered storage capacity of 216 GWh. An auction will allocate the available capacity to these market playters.

According to current planning, the first cavern will be operational in 2028. The other three caverns will be completed soon after 2030, which would bring the site’s total capacity to up to 4 GW.
