Overview
- Construction is slated to begin in early summer 2026 with commissioning targeted by the end of 2027.
- The facility is specified at 400 MW/800 MWh to help balance variable solar and wind generation and support grid stability.
- EnBW plans to finance the project through power-market revenues and ancillary services without state subsidies.
- Reports place the investment in a low-to-mid triple-digit million euro range, while EnBW has not provided a precise cost.
- The planned capacity equates to roughly a day of electricity for about 100,000 households, adding to large German builds by RWE in Gundremmingen and LEAG in Lausitz as studies project a national storage need of about 180 GWh by 2045.
