Battery storage as the backbone of large-scale sustainable energy
Solar and wind farms are increasingly producing more electricity than the grid can handle. During grid congestion or negative electricity prices, installations must be shut down, resulting in wasted renewable energy. Large-scale battery storage offers a solution: with a battery energy storage system (BESS), electricity is temporarily stored and used once the grid is relieved or prices rise. A large-scale battery storage facility, such as a 1 MWh battery container, allows for the capture of surplus generation from a solar or wind farm. This enhances 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 highly 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, it offers opportunities to make processes more sustainable and generate revenue. With options like turnkey battery storage, EMS integration, medium voltage, and access to schemes like the SDE++ subsidy, industrial battery storage becomes a scalable and profitable choice. For grid operators and major 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 facing negative electricity prices. When there is a lot of sun or wind and low electricity demand, an oversupply occurs on the grid. 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 offers a solution. With a battery energy storage system (BESS), solar and wind farms can continue to produce during negative hours. The generated energy is stored, for example, in a 1 MWh battery container, to be used later at higher rates. This increases yield, relieves the grid, and prevents 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 SDE++ subsidies. 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 times, participation in grid services such as aFRR, and future-proof production. Battery storage during 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 standard for large-scale battery storage
Within the large-scale battery storage market, we are seeing 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 hold more energy for the same budget, which is essential for applications such as energy arbitration, grid reinforcement, and negative power prices. With a 0.25C configuration, batteries can discharge for longer periods, making them better suited for peak shaving and relieving the grid during congestion. Especially when combined with a solar or wind farm or as part of an energy hub, this offers economies of scale. In the context of subsidized battery storage (such as the SDE++ scheme), project developers more often opt for this approach. Utility scale battery storage with medium voltage, EMS integration, and geared towards high consumption or charging infrastructure offers maximum deployability. The lower peak capacity is more than compensated by duration and stability of use. Thus, 0.25C becomes the logical choice for investors aiming for return, reliability, and a future-proof solution within the smart grid.
