A German developer has unveiled plans to build a 60MW battery storage park in Brandenburg.
Re.venture said the facility, which will have 240MWh of capacity, is designed to supply a medium-sized city with power for up to 12 hours.
Construction is due to start in 2026 with commissioning targeted for 2027.
Located in a “relief area” designated by network operator e.dis, the site will help absorb excess renewable generation and ease regional grid bottlenecks.
Chief executive Jens Kompauer said: “The new battery plant enables the storage and then the release of green and locally generated energy. Every kilowatt hour that we do not have to curtail conserves resources, strengthens industry, and relieves consumers.”
The project is expected to lower redispatch and curtailment costs while generating local tax revenue and community benefit payments.
Two dedicated substations will link directly to the 110kV grid, and the modular system design allows expansion up to 480MWh.
Chief technology officer Ingo Ernst said: “Thanks to response times in the millisecond range, the system compensates for fluctuations almost immediately – and can even support the grid restart in an emergency.”
The plant will also be capable of providing system services including frequency control and reserve power.
