Slovenia state-owned utility Dravske elektrarne Maribor (DEM) is planning two battery storage units totalling 60MW as well as a pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) plant.
Global energy company RWE will bring a 72MW battery energy storage system (BESS) online in November in Werne, Germany, the first of two connected systems totalling 112MW, a spokesperson told Energy-Storage.news.
Updated 27 July 2021: An RWE spokesperson told Energy-Storage.news that the combined capacity of the BESS installations will be 128MWh across the two sites. It was also confirmed that the project will be commercially-oriented, rather than a demonstration of the technology or potential business models.
