European utility and power generation firm RWE is building two co-located energy storage projects totalling 10.6MW in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany.

Global system integrator Fluence and utility Münch Energie are developing a solar-plus-storage plant with 34MWh of storage in Merseburg, Germany.

Success for project proposals combining solar PV with battery storage in Germany’s latest multiple technology tenders for renewable energy are proof of the importance of energy storage, the managing director of German energy storage association BVES has said.

Around 2.1GWh of battery storage had been installed in Germany by the end of 2019, in households, at commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities and at large-scale in grid-connected applications.
