RWE has completed its final investment decision (FID) for the development and construction of a 220 MW battery energy storage project in Germany with a total investment of EUR140 million (US$139.71 million).
The company plans to build a total of 690 lithium-ion battery blocks to be installed at the sites of RWE’s power plants in Neurath and Hamm in North Rhine-Westphalia. In Neurath, batteries with a total capacity of 80 MW are to be installed on an area of around 7,000 m², which is the equivalent of about one football pitch. And batteries with a total capacity of 140 MW are to be installed in Hamm at the Westfalen power plant, covering an area of 14,000 m². RWE plans to use brand-new lithium-ion batteries which are installed in cabinet form and delivered as prefabricated modules.
The planned system is designed to react within seconds, delivering the required output for over an hour. This allows the system to contribute to the efficient stabilization of the grid with a reliable power supply.
