The first large battery storage plant in Germany, commissioned 1986 in Berlin-Steglitz with a capacity of 17 MW, served as energy reserve and frequency stabilization for the insular West Berlin power grid, but was taken out of operation after the reunification in 1994 as its operation was no longer necessary or economic.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, responsible for energy policy in Germany on the federal level, supports the development of electricity storage facilities. Under the Energy Storage Funding Initiative launched in 2012, funding for the development of energy storage systems has been provided to around 250 projects.
They still make up the largest share of the electricity storage capacity in Germany; about 30 projects commissioned between 1926 and 2004 provide a total capacity of about 7 GW. The majority are operated by utilities and they principally provide time-shifted electricity supply and balancing energy.
Bollingstedt / Kirchheim near Munich, 5 June 2024. Germany’s largest battery storage facility is now online and has been officially inaugurated. Since April, a 103.5 MW / 238 MWh storage system has been operating in Bollingstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, contributing significantly to the urgently needed energy transition.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
At the sites of the power plants in Hamm and Neurath, an intelligent, net-worked storage system is being built. Learn more about the project.
