RWE has commenced the construction of its 220 MW/235 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) located in Neurath and Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The EUR140 million (US$150.7 million) project will have a total of 690 lithium-ion battery blocks.
The battery system is expected to deliver balancing energy to stabilize the electricity grid from the second half of 2024. The Neurath and Hamm facilities will be virtually networked with RWE power stations across Germany, providing further flexibility in balancing the energy supply.
RWE has extensive experience with energy storage systems and will handle the planning, modeling, system integration, and commissioning of the project directly.
