en.Wedoany.com Reported - Green Flexibility has officially commissioned a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 38.5 MW/83.4 MWh in Balzhausen, Bavaria, Germany, with an investment of approximately €35 million. The project is part of the "feed-in socket" tender by local distribution grid operator LEW Verteilnetz, aimed at optimizing grid utilization. The inauguration ceremony last week attracted over 80 representatives from politics, the energy sector, and the community.

This battery energy storage system is the first of three approved storage projects to be completed and connected to the grid. LEW project manager Barbara Plura stated: "Battery energy storage systems are crucial for the future energy system, especially in the Swabia region with its high photovoltaic density, as they can enhance grid efficiency." Through coordinated operation modes, the project ensures that the 80 MW feed-in socket capacity is not exceeded, with plans to expand the capacity by approximately 60%.

Green Flexibility co-founder Christoph Lienert emphasized that the Balzhausen project demonstrates the possibilities of multi-party collaboration. The company stated that this is the largest battery storage facility in the Swabia region and plans to commission at least five more similar systems within this year, four of which are medium-voltage 10 MW/25 MWh projects. Additionally, its 40 MW/90 MWh high-voltage project in Obergünzburg is also expected to be connected to the grid this year.
