German decentralized energy company Münch Energie has selected Fluence Energy to supply a combined 11.7 MW/34 MWh battery energy storage system that will be co-located at a 34 MW solar photovoltaic project in Merseburg, Germany.
The project will be connected to the grid through a specially constructed transformer station by April 2023. This will allow Muench Energie to participate in the secondary reserve market (aFFR) of Germany.
The battery-based energy storage is a quickly deployed, cost-effective, and low-emission solution that aims to supplement the intermittent solar generation and improve the resiliency of the German electricity grid.
