Aquila Capital is advancing its investment in the Strübbel Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Northern Germany, a crucial project supporting the global energy transition. The facility is designed to store excess renewable energy—primarily from wind and solar sources—and release it during peak demand periods, ensuring a stable integration of renewables into the grid.
This energy storage project plays a key role in stabilizing the grid by balancing fluctuations in renewable energy generation, which is vital for maintaining a reliable electricity supply.
The Strübbel BESS project, developed by Aquila Clean Energy EMEA, is part of the investment portfolios managed by Aquila Capital. It aligns with the firm’s strategic focus on expanding its clean energy asset portfolio in Europe, in line with its commitment to sustainable real asset investments.
Key updates from the site include:
The main facility foundations are complete, moving the 50 MW / 100 MWh system closer to completion.
A 63-megavolt-ampere transformer is now on-site, ready to connect the BESS to the high-voltage grid.
The system is expected to be operational by mid-2025, contributing to renewable energy storage and grid stabilization.
This project underscores Aquila Capital’s dedication to supporting the future of clean, sustainable energy.
