The battery facility, with a capacity of 100MWh, is designed to bolster the stability of the entire southern German electricity grid rather than supplying power directly to households.

Construction of the plant is set to begin next year, with operations targeted to begin by the end of 2025.

This project is part of EnBW’s strategy to integrate battery storage systems with other forms of power generation such as pumped storage plants and hydrogen-capable gas-fired power plants, to create a more reliable and flexible power supply.
