Rolls-Royce supplies large-scale battery storage for Encavis

The battery system will support Encavis in trading the electric energy generated by German wind and solar parks by primarily balancing out fluctuations in generation and increasing security of supply.

Rolls-Royce will supply and install the energy storage system on a turnkey basis, and the partners said it is expected to go into operation in the first quarter of 2025.

The deal comprises a large-scale mtu EnergyPack QG storage system with a total of 72 battery cabinets and the intelligent mtu EnergetIQ control platform, which Rolls-Royce said ensures optimum performance and flexibility.

Rolls-Royce has already supported Encavis in the project development for the battery energy storage systems and, in addition to the delivery, is also responsible for the construction work, the complete installation and the provision of all grid connection components for the energy storage system.

In a statement, Mario Schirru, CIO/COO of Encavis AG, said: “We are delighted to have found a reliable partner in Rolls-Royce, who has been at our side since the project development phase and will continue to support us over the next 10 years and ensure smooth operation.”
