Additional information
Owner 1 – Venture Capital
Ownership Model – Third-Party-Owned
Project investment is reported to have been €12.8 million ($14.3 million). A significant proportion of that funding, €5 million, came in the form of a grant shared by Brandenburg and, encouragingly, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The principal intention of the plant is to provide load-balancing power to the local transmission grid. Load-balancing power is what’s required to balance out temporal variations in grid frequency. The plant is capable of both relieving the grid when there is an oversupply of electricity by storing surplus power, and supplying power to stabilise the grid when required.
