BESS with BayWa r.e.: Ensuring a Stable Energy Future

Successful Realisation of Battery Storage Projects in Germany – From Planning to Commissioning

BayWa r.e. develops battery energy storage solutions (BESS) that make the energy system more flexible and reliable.

As part of project development, we take responsibility for the entire process - from site assessment and technical planning through to the realisation of projects that drive the expansion of renewable energies and promote a secure power supply.

Our battery storage systems help to utilise electricity from renewable sources efficiently, balance out grid fluctuations and further advance the integration of solar and wind energy.

From site analysis to commissioning - our path to a successful storage project

A battery storage project is developed in several phases that are carefully coordinated.

Our experienced team develops projects from the ground up: checking suitable locations, creating technical and economic concepts and supporting all the necessary planning and authorisation steps.

The focus is on developing sustainable and economically viable projects that stabilise the energy system and open up new opportunities for the use of land. 

How a Battery Storage Project Takes Shape  

Many steps are required before a battery storage system is connected to the grid: from checking the location and technical design to construction, installation and final testing. The duration of a project depends heavily on the size, technology and approval process.

Here you can find out how a BESS takes shape step by step until it reliably stores and supplies electricity.

Site Analysis

Before we plan a battery storage system, we carefully check whether the planned site fulfils all technical and legal requirements. The following criteria, among others, play a role here:

  • Grid connection: Distance and connection options to suitable substations or grid connection points

  • Grid capacity: availability of free feed-in and supply capacity in the electricity grid

  • Land requirements and topography: size, nature and development of the area

  • Accessibility: access routes for construction, operation and maintenance

  • Authorisation requirements: Building planning law, environmental regulations, fire protection

  • Distances to sensitive uses: e.g. residential buildings, nature conservation areas

What makes the project development of battery storage systems with BayWa r.e. special?

At BayWa r.e., we focus on partnership-based cooperation, clear communication and long-term reliability when it comes to battery storage projects. We work closely with all relevant stakeholders, from landowners and municipalities to grid operators, and ensure smooth implementation on site.

Every BESS project is planned in such a way that it is optimised for the location, technically, economically and in line with the local conditions. To this end, we liaise with all relevant partners from the outset and take their requirements and concerns into account.

Throughout the entire project phase, we keep the relevant contacts up to date on progress, for example via direct coordination or project-related information documents.

 

We also take responsibility for operations, whether through our services for commercial and technical management or direct marketing. With our in-house teams for energy trading and operations, we ensure the economically optimised use of the storage facility.
