Intec chosen to deliver 40.7 MWh battery storage project in Germany

Intec Energy Solutions has been selected by UK-based power company VPI to deliver a 40.7 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Bad Wildungen, Germany. 

The site spans approximately 3,000 square meters, and will feature 10 CATL battery containers, engineered for a minimum operational life of 40 years. According to Intec, it will deliver full balance-of-plant services, including civil works, grid integration, protection and control systems, and a switching substation. 

Intec managing director for Germany, Klaus Friedl, said that the Bad Wildungen BESS project was one of many future projects in the pipeline. 

“We are building more than a large-scale battery system, we are building the foundation for a cleaner, more flexible, and more resilient energy system,” Friedl said.

“BESS is the gateway to unlocking the full potential of renewables in our grids. Our global experience in BESS projects continues to expand, with additional projects in the pipeline. We are happy to partner with VPI, and we believe this collaboration will be long-term.”

Intec is headquartered in the UK, and it has delivered over 190 projects for clients with 3.9 GW of installed and secured capacity. 

Theodor Borsche, managing director of VPI Germany said that the Bad Wildungen project “is the first in a broader pipeline designed to support Germany’s transition to a more flexible, resilient energy system.”

In Australia, Intec is delivering full engineering, procurement, and construction services for a 222 MW / 640 MWh (2-hour) BESS in Queensland, Australia.
