Breitenbich battery storage

Directly next to its own Breitenbich substation, the GERES-Group is planning a battery storage system with an output of 18 megawatts and a storage capacity of 40 megawatt hours.

Visualisation

The storage system uses lithium-ion technology from Huawei in a modular container design. It will be connected at 30 kilovolts to the substation, which is owned by the group itself. The site is secured, the grid operator has approved the feed-in, and the municipality supports the project.

A battery storage system takes up electricity when more is generated than consumed and releases it again later. This helps to keep the grid stable and means that wind farms need to be curtailed less often because of grid congestion.

What the region gains

As with the wind farms, part of the added value stays in the region: through municipal participation and through income from leases, taxes and local contracts.
