A huge energy storage facility with a capacity of 230 MWh will be created

Sungrow Power Supply and Nofar Energy have entered into an agreement to construct an energy storage facility in Germany with a capacity of 116.5 MW. This marks the first investment of its kind utilizing PowerTitan2.0 technology.

Nofar Energy investments

Nofar Energy, an Israeli renewable energy developer, has collaborated with Sungrow Power Supply, a Chinese inverter and energy storage manufacturer, to complete its latest project in Saxony-Anhalt. This marks the first large-scale implementation of its kind in Germany. Interestingly, Nofar Energy is also active in our country. In 2023, it finished constructing a 20 MW photovoltaic farm in Krzywińskie, located in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Further activities with Electrum are anticipated, aiming to commission solar and wind projects with a capacity of up to 1.25 GW.

What is unique about PowerTitan2.0?

In Germany, the investment project will feature the innovative liquid-cooled PowerTitan2.0 energy storage system. This system, a global novelty, debuted just two months ago during the Power Up Your Future – Sungrow PowerTitan2.0 Experience Day.

The contract outlines the construction of a battery energy storage facility with a capacity of 116.5 MW and 230 MWh. The batteries, each with a capacity of 5 MWh, will be housed in containers. This integration is expected to enhance the efficiency and safety of the solution while simultaneously reducing both the initial investment outlays (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX).

The project is part of a broader strategy to promote energy storage in Germany

According to analyses from the S&P Global Commodity Insights portal, Europe is projected to install over 140 GW of battery energy storage by 2030. The development of such systems is particularly robust in Germany, where the share of renewable energy in the energy production mix is expected to reach 80% in the coming years. Notable activities in this sector include a project at a former nuclear power plant site in North Rhine-Westphalia and various initiatives led by RWE. These initiatives involve connecting storage facilities to photovoltaic farms, including those situated in open-pit mines in Garzweiler and Hambach.
