Where is Bess located in Germany?

The project is one of the largest BESS projects in Germany to date, has already secured grid capacity, and is planned to operate under a tolling agreement. The BESS plant is located near the town of Dortmund in North Rhine-Westphalia, strategically placed in Germany’s federal state with the largest demand for power.

Will Germany reach 12gw of Bess capacity by 2030?

Although most of this proposed capacity is unlikely to reach final investment decision, the outlook for actual installations remains ambitious. If the current BESS deployment rate of 1GW of additional capacity every six months continues, Germany could exceed 12GW of installed grid-scale BESS capacity by 2030.
