Battery storage as the backbone of large-scale sustainable energy
Solar and wind farms increasingly produce more electricity than the grid can handle. During grid congestion or negative electricity prices, installations must be shut down, leading to a waste of sustainable energy. Large-scale battery storage offers a solution: with a battery energy storage system (BESS), electricity is temporarily stored and utilized once the grid is relieved or prices increase. A large-scale battery storage, such as a 1 MWh battery container, makes it possible to capture excess generation from a solar or wind farm. This increases the efficiency of your project and makes your installation less dependent on the grid. Utility scale battery storage is also used for peak shaving, emergency power supply, and grid support. Thanks to stable discharge capacity, 0.25C systems are very suitable for energy arbitrage, deployment in the imbalance market, FCR, and aFRR. This makes your battery storage an investment that yields returns. For industries, energy hubs, and charging infrastructure, this offers opportunities to make processes more sustainable and generate income. With options like turnkey battery storage, integration with EMS, medium voltage, and access to schemes such as the SDE++ subsidy, industrial battery storage becomes a scalable and profitable choice. For grid operators and large consumers, it also serves as a strategic grid buffer and an alternative to grid reinforcement.

Negative electricity prices call for large-scale battery storage
Solar and wind farms are increasingly encountering negative electricity prices. An oversupply on the grid occurs when there is a lot of sun or wind combined with low electricity demand. In 2024, more than 1,700 GWh of sustainable power was lost because of this. Many installations shut themselves down to avoid costs, but this comes at the expense of the energy transition. Large-scale battery storage provides a solution. With a battery energy storage system (BESS), solar and wind farms can continue producing during negative hours. The generated energy is stored in, for example, a 1 MWh battery container, to be used later at higher rates. This increases yield, relieves the grid, and prevents the waste of sustainable energy. More and more operators are investing in utility-scale battery storage at their solar or wind farm, often with support from schemes such as the SDE++ subsidy. Thanks to integration with an EMS and connection to medium voltage, the system is fully aligned with the market. For producers, this means control over delivery moments, participation in grid services like aFRR, and future-proof production. Battery storage for grid congestion, grid reinforcement, or as a grid buffer is not only a business model but essential in a smarter and more flexible smart grid.

0.25C becomes the norm for large-scale battery storage
Within the market for large-scale battery storage, we see a clear shift from 0.5C to 0.25C battery containers. This development aligns with the growing role of batteries in the aFRR market, where long-term grid stabilization is more important than short-term peak power. A lower C-rate means that the battery energy storage system (BESS) can contain more energy for the same budget, which is essential for applications such as energy arbitrage, grid reinforcement, and negative electricity prices. With a 0.25C configuration, batteries can discharge for longer periods, making them better suited for peak shaving and relieving the grid during network congestion. Especially when combined with a solar park, wind farm, or as part of an energy hub, this offers economies of scale. Also, in the context of battery storage with subsidies (such as the SDE++ scheme), project developers increasingly choose this approach. A utility-scale battery storage with medium voltage, EMS integration, and focused on high consumption or charging infrastructure offers maximum deployability. The lower peak capacity is more than compensated by duration of use and stability. Thus, 0.25C becomes the logical choice for investors aiming for returns, reliability, and a future-proof solution within the smart grid.
