German developer Green Flexibility on Monday announced it will build a €35 million, 40 MW/90 MWh BESS in Obergünzburg, Swabia.

In addition to storing excess solar and wind power to reduce load shedding on the national grid, the site will operate in a “grid-neutral” manner by also responding to signals from its local electricity network.

The developer said the high-voltage BESS, which will have its own transformer station, is set to be commissioned before 2027.

Green Flexibility said the project would also feature a “public participation program” for residents in the same zip code, without elaborating further.

Opinion & Analysis

When will there be nationwide financing solutions for battery storage systems in Germany? The use of battery storage systems is essential for the success of the energy transition and the best possible use of renewable energies, but also for being able to temporarily store surplus energy from other sources. Technically, there are already solutions for all possible sizes of battery storage systems, from private home storage systems to large-scale storage systems with a capacity of more than 50 MWh. But what about the financing of battery storage systems, is it already offered as standard?
