Eco Stor plans to develop 300 MW/600 MWh energy storage project in Saxony-Anhalt

Eco Stor plans to build a 300 MW energy storage project in Förderstedt, located in the Salzlandkreis district of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Once connected to the grid, this facility will have the capacity to store up to 600 MWh of electricity. Construction is slated to commence in 2024, with the plant expected to be fully operational and connected to the grid by 2025.

The energy storage system will consist of six Eco Stor ES-50 C blocks. Each of these modules is capable of storing 100 MWh of electricity, making them an ideal choice for large-scale energy storage. Furthermore, these blocks can efficiently absorb 50 MW of power from the grid and release it back with the same capacity when required. In total, the 300 MW capacity will enable the plant to provide uninterrupted power supply to half a million households for two hours.

The Eco Stor ES-50 C blocks are composed of 32 containers housing advanced lithium-ion batteries, ensuring optimal energy storage efficiency. Additionally, the facility includes 16 container stations that house essential equipment such as inverters and transformers. An additional transformer station is also incorporated, efficiently raising the voltage of the electricity fed into the grid to 110 kV.
