Together, the two projects in Weichenried (Bavaria) and Weilerswist (North Rhine-Westphalia) have a capacity of 9.7 MW and are due to be connected to the grid by summer 2023 at the latest.
ABO Wind was awarded tariffs for four hybrid projects with a capacity of over 18 MW in the first two innovation tenders in September 2020 and April 2021.

“Storage systems play a crucial role in further increasing the share of electricity generated from renewable energy sources in Germany,” says Dr. http://energynews.pro/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/RENTEL-POWERPLUG-KLOET-061dd11042019-7.jpeg Treiling, head of project development in Germany.

Addition of fixed government income

Under German innovation tenders, market premiums are awarded for combinations of solar or wind farms and storage.
The individual systems must be connected to the same grid connection point.
Unlike other tenders, a fixed market premium is paid.
This means that a fixed remuneration from the state is added to the revenues from electricity sales.
Electricity storage is a growing business area for ABO Wind and is coordinated by the Hybrid Energy and Battery Storage Systems department, headed by Dr Julia Badeda.
In addition to the solar-storage combinations that won the tender, ABO Wind is planning other hybrid projects, mainly in Greece and Spain.
In Kells, Northern Ireland, the company is also building a 50 MW battery storage facility to stabilize the grid.
