W Power Renewables is rapidly advancing its battery storage strategy. Following the successful launch of its first large-scale battery storage system with 10 MW capacity in Ohrdruf (Thuringia) – which has been marketed by Entrix since 2024 – the second project is already nearing commissioning. The new storage facility in Worms is expected to be connected to the grid in early 2026. W Power Renewables is managing the overall coordination and leveraging its implementation expertise. The storage system will contribute significantly to grid stability, support the integration of renewable energy, and provide system flexibility.

The project is being realized by W Power Renewables GmbH in collaboration with regional utility EWR AG and project developer TIMBRA Group, which specializes in site development.

“Following the success of the Ohrdruf project, this second joint venture in Worms underscores the strength of our partnership. We’re proud to again take on optimization and marketing responsibilities and to contribute to the integration of flexible storage solutions at another key location,” said Steffen Schülzchen, CEO of Entrix.

Christian Jochemich, Managing Director of W Power Renewables, added: “With this new storage asset in Worms, we are consistently pursuing our battery storage strategy. The successful collaboration with Entrix and our regional partners EWR and Timbra shows how we can accelerate the energy transition in practice.”

Entrix will market the Worms battery storage system across all relevant electricity markets—from frequency containment reserve (FCR) and automatic frequency restoration reserve (aFRR) to the day-ahead and intraday wholesale markets. Its optimization strategy is powered by AI algorithms that respond in real time to market signals. This enables the storage system to maximize its commercial potential while contributing to grid stability.

The Worms battery storage system strengthens local energy infrastructure and provides grid-supporting flexibility. As such, it plays an important role in ensuring supply security—both regionally and nationally.

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?

Falling li-ion battery prices mirror solar photovoltaics trends: Is there a role for second-life batteries before recycling? Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind and solar power plants. EVs are driving large-scale demand for Li-ion batteries which will result in substantial volumes of spent batteries in the near future. This scenario highlights the potential for repurposing EV batteries for second-life stationary applications, which could maximise their value before recycling. However, to fully realise this opportunity, several economic, technical, and regulatory challenges must be addressed and resolved.
