TEP is spearheading the construction of solar-plus-storage plants in Germany

• Trianel Energieprojekte GmbH & Co. KG (TEP), a developer of renewable energy projects, has kicked off the installation of 60 MWp of solar power in Germany, spanning four initiatives. Each of these projects will incorporate a battery storage facility.

Collectively, the four energy storage systems will offer a total capacity of 40 MWh, as announced by the municipal utility company Trianel on Friday.

These hybrid systems are under construction in the German federal states of Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Wuerttemberg, and Brandenburg.

The Luebars II solar park in Saxony-Anhalt, with a capacity of 12 MW, has already been finished, and it will provide green energy to about 4,000 homes. An 8 MWh battery is slated for installation at this location in August.

Construction work for the 19-MWp Gammertingen solar park in Baden-Wuerttemberg will commence in July, with the solar park and storage facility planned to be operational by February 2024.

In Brandenburg, Trianel is set to initiate the Letschin solar farm project, which will feature a 13-MWp solar farm and a 9-MWh battery storage system, in June.

The fourth project, which involves building a 16-MWp solar plant at the Goehlsdorf site in Brandenburg, is in the pipeline, with construction activities to begin in July following the approval of the building permit.

Trianel has obtained these four projects in the innovation tenders hosted by Germany.
