Active internationally in the development, construction, and operation of battery energy storage systems, BayWa r.e. manages a portfolio of over 3 GW in projects currently under development.
With a team of dedicated experts, we design turnkey energy storage systems that are efficient, safe, and meet the highest standards. Our expertise enables us to create autonomous storage installations, either directly connected to the grid or integrated with solar and wind farms.
The benefits of BESS
Energy storage is a crucial tool for enhancing grid flexibility and advancing renewable energy development. RTE, the operator of the French electrical system, estimates that battery storage capacity in France should increase tenfold, from 600 MW in 2023 to 6,000 MW by 2030.
These systems ensure:
The balancing of the electrical grid by offsetting discrepancies between production and consumption
The security of electricity supply
The stabilisation of energy costs by damping fluctuations
A more efficient integration of renewable energy into the grid
Operation of a storage battery system
The criteria for site eligibility for a storage project
Between 0.5 and 3 hectares of available land
Flat terrain, located outside of flood-prone areas
Close to a grid connection point
Urban planning compatibility with an energy storage project
Preferably in an industrial zone, at a reasonable distance away from residential areas
