The project will improve energy security and significantly support Germanys energy transition pathway by increasing the efficiency of the existing grid infrastructure.

Key Points: 
  • The project will improve energy security and significantly support Germanys energy transition pathway by increasing the efficiency of the existing grid infrastructure.
  • The 250 MW battery-based energy storage system, supplied by Fluence, will be located at Kupferzell, a major grid hub.
  • The system will also ease bottlenecks stemming from transporting wind energy from Germanys north to the countrys southern load centres.
  • Working with TransnetBW to deliver this Netzbooster project will result in a critical contribution to the countrys energy security and the stabilization of energy costs, said Markus Meyer, Managing Director at Fluence Energy GmbH.
