EnBW took a final investment decision (FID) on the project late last year<\/a>, and started building a smaller 100MW\/100MWh project in Marbach in April this year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Philippsburg Mayor Stefan Martus said, \u201cPhilippsburg has been one of Germany\u2019s most important energy hubs for half a century, a position that is now being further strengthened by the new BESS.<\/p>\n

EnBW already operates 20 smaller BESS projects totalling over 100 MWh of installed capacity in Germany. <\/p>\n

Envision Energy to supply 1.6GWh project in Germany<\/p>\n

Lithium-ion OEM Envision Energy has partnered with developer and IPP Elements Green to deliver the 400MW\/1600MWh Stadorf BESS project, in northern Germany. <\/p>\n

Envision will supply a solution built around its latest modular Gen 8 BESS platform, unveiled late last year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The supply agreement was announced at last week\u2019s Smarter E Europe trade show in Munich, Germany,<\/a> which Energy-Storage.news attended. <\/p>\n

Though the company didn\u2019t announce the start of construction, or set a target date, bringing a supplier on board is a key step in the process. <\/p>\n

Eku Energy acquires 400MW\/1,600MWh project<\/p>\n

BESS owner-operator Eku Energy<\/a> meanwhile has entered the German market with a project the same size as the Standorf BESS project. <\/p>\n

The project is in the municipality of Lamspringe in Lower Saxony, northwest Germany, and will provide black start capability through a direct connection to the transmission grid. It is currently in an advanced development stage, with commissioning planned at the end of 2029.<\/p>\n

VPI starts building 144MWh project<\/p>\n

Power firm VPI, backed by energy and commodities firm Vitol, has reached FID and started early-stage construction on a 144MWh project in Pasewalk, in the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The firm announced its entry into the German market last year with a partnership with developer Noveria. <\/a><\/p>\n

Lithium-ion OEM CATL is providing the BESS technology, Wood Group is providing engineering services, while Intec Energy Solutions is balance of plant (BOP) contractor.<\/p>\n

The flurry of projects come a few weeks after the Energy Storage Summit at the Battery Show Europe<\/a>, hosted by\u00a0Energy-Storage.news\u00a0publisher Solar Media and co-located with parent company Informa\u2019s\u00a0The Battery Show Europe<\/a>\u00a0in Stuttgart, Germany.
