BayWa r.e. will manage and maintain Germany’s largest operational BESS when it comes online later this year, while Terra One has started building a smaller project in the same state.

The project updates come ahead of the Energy Storage Summit at The Battery Show Europe, in Stuttgart, Germany next month (9-11 June). The country is at a pivotal moment for large-scale storage, with many huge projects underway and financing them now less of a challenge than three or four years ago. But, big regulatory and commercial challenges remain.
