German 10 MW battery to be developed by UK-based RES Group
London (Platts)--10 Jan 2018 947 am EST/1447 GMT
UK-based green power developer RES Group has been awarded the contract for a battery storage project by North German local utility VB Bordesholm to come online next spring, it said in a statement.
- Bordesholm project to offer secure island solution
- Balancing market income seen at Eur1 million/year
The project primarily intended for the German balancing market will have a capacity of 10 MW with an annual planned income of around Eur1 million ($1.19 million), it said.
In addition, the battery with a storage capacity of 15 MWh is also intended to secure local power supply in case of a grid failure for which the project received funding by the regional government to develop an "island solution" to improve security of supply in one of the world's densest wind clusters.
The local community of Bordesholm near Kiel supplies itself already 75% with renewable energy, it said.
Germany with its massive portfolio of wind and solar set to reach the 100 GW mark this spring is seen as key in developing battery storage systems with especially Northern Germany facing grid stability issues amid large fluctuations in wind power output.
Last year, Germany's largest single battery storage project -- a 48 MW li-ion battery system -- was announced at Jardelund also in the state of Schleswig-Holstein at the border with Denmark with a number of increasingly larger projects to be realized in the future grabbing the headlines.
