Overview

• The plan was formally presented to the local council, marking a key step toward securing the necessary permits for the 800 MWh installation.
• The proposed storage capacity matches the daily electricity needs of about 100,000 households, making it one of Germany’s largest battery systems.
• Project planners will leverage an on-site TransnetBW high-voltage DC converter to integrate surplus wind and solar power into the grid.
• EnBW intends to finance the project entirely through energy market revenues and grid-service offerings without relying on state subsidies.
• The battery could be commissioned by the end of 2027 if EnBW grants final investment approval and obtains a building permit.
