Where is Germany's largest battery storage facility located?

RWE has begun construction of one of Germany’s largest battery storage facilities at its power plant locations in Neurath and Hamm. The facility will have a capacity of 220 megawatts (MW) and storage capacity of 235 megawatt hours (MWh).

Who will provide the lithium-ion battery storage system?

The lithium-ion battery storage system will be provided by Fluence, a joint venture between Siemens and AES. Siemens will handle project management, including a technical implementation concept, as well as the construction of a medium-voltage switchgear system and connection to the high-voltage grid.

Where is eco Stor constructing a battery energy storage system in Germany?

ECO STOR is pleased to announce another significant battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Germany, with construction scheduled for the end of 2024. This new project will be situated in the town of Wittlich in Rhineland-Palatinate, adjacent to the Wengerohr substation, and will be part of ECO STOR's series of large-scale BESS projects.

How will Germany's new energy storage system improve energy security?

The project will improve energy security and significantly support Germany’s energy transition pathway by increasing the efficiency of the existing grid infrastructure. The 250 MW battery-based energy storage system, supplied by Fluence, will be located at Kupferzell, a major grid hub.

How many lithium ion batteries will be installed at a new facility?

The facility will have a capacity of 220 megawatts (MW) and storage capacity of 235 megawatt hours (MWh). A total of 690 lithium-ion battery blocks will be installed at the facility, involving an investment of approximately 140 million euros.
