INTEC Energy Solutions (INTEC), a leading provider of integrated energy solutions, has been commissioned by VPI to develop a 40.7 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Bad Wildungen, marking a major milestone in Germany’s energy transition.
Spread over an area of approximately 3,000 square meters, the project will utilize ten state-of-the-art battery modules from CATL, supplied by VPI. Designed for a minimum operational life of 40 years, the storage facility will be seamlessly integrated into the German power grid to enhance its flexibility and stability.
Under the contract, INTEC will manage the complete Balance of Plant (BoP) scope, including civil works, substations, protection and control systems, electrical infrastructure, commissioning, and grid integration.
“With this project, we are not only implementing a large-scale storage facility but also investing in the future of energy,” said Klaus Friedl, Managing Director, INTEC Energy Solutions Germany. “BESS solutions like this are essential to safely and efficiently integrate renewable energy into the grid.”
Dr. Theodor Borsche, Managing Director of VPI Germany, highlighted the regional importance of the project: “Battery storage is vital for ensuring reliable power in Hesse and supporting Germany’s move toward a flexible, resilient, and decarbonized energy system.”
Battery storage systems are increasingly central to Europe’s clean energy strategy, allowing excess renewable power to be stored and released as needed. INTEC, which is currently implementing a 640 MWh BESS project in Queensland, Australia, aims to leverage its international experience to strengthen Europe’s grid stability and sustainability.
Headquartered in the United Kingdom, INTEC has completed more than 190 projects globally, achieving an installed capacity of 3.9 GW. The company operates across Germany, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Spain, Hungary, and several other countries.
