Battery storage (BESS)
Battery storage sites in Germany, developed to ready-to-build
We develop projects of 20–85 MW, from site search to sale. Each is sold ready-to-build: site, high-voltage (110 kV) grid connection and permits secured, so construction can start.

Why grid storage
Battery storage for a stable power supply
Electricity in the grid runs at a frequency of 50 hertz (50 cycles per second). Oversupply pushes this frequency up; shortage pulls it down. As wind and solar replace fossil-fuel and nuclear plants, these swings grow. A battery takes in surplus power and releases it when supply runs short. This balancing keeps the grid stable. It supports Germany's target of 80% renewable electricity by 2030.

How we develop
Typically 8–12 months from grid reservation to ready-to-build
Secure the site
We identify suitable land and secure it. Before we commit, we check it for construction and operation: soil, unexploded ordnance, noise and fire safety.
Grid reservation
The grid operator reserves connection capacity for the project.
Grid planning
Technical planning of the high-voltage, 110 kV, connection.
Permits
BESS: building permit
Substation: building permit
Cable route: rights of way from landowners, and crossing permits (roads, rail, waterways)
Ready-to-build
Permits and grid connection secured. We sell the project.
Financial close
We support the buyer until its financing is in place.
