Reuther Rieche advised Berlin-based re.venture GmbH on regulatory approval issues relating to the construction of one of Germany’s largest battery storage parks. The facility is being built in Kränzlin in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district and is scheduled to go into operation in 2027.
With an output of 60 megawatts and a storage capacity of up to 480 megawatt hours, the storage park will absorb surplus energy from the electricity grid and feed it back in when needed.
The region around Neuruppin is particularly affected by curtailments, as the grid cannot fully absorb the energy generated from wind and solar power. The battery storage facility allows some of the electricity that would otherwise remain unused to be stored.
The building permit for the E.DIS network area has already been granted. The project is considered a milestone for the energy transition in Brandenburg and a model for further storage solutions in Germany.
Janina Reuther and her team supported re.venture throughout the approval process.
