City Council in Gredinger is considering restricting the number of self-storage units
The operator of the upcoming photovoltaic plant near Herrnsberg, Greding (Roth district), Südwerk, has announced plans to install battery storage units with an initial capacity of approximately 20 megawatt-hours (MWh). These plans, as outlined in the new draft of the building plan, also include the construction of four battery storage units.
The photovoltaic plant, which is intended for the generation of green energy, is set to be located near Herrnsberg, near Greding (Roth district). The new draft of the building plan proposes the addition of these battery storage units, with the aim of storing excess energy produced by the plant.
The proposed battery storage facilities could potentially accommodate up to 55 storage units, providing ample space for energy storage in the future, should demand and further development approvals allow for expansion. The current plans suggest an initial capacity of 20 MWh, with the potential to increase to up to 50 MWh in the future.
However, at a recent meeting with Greding council members, there was disagreement about the size of the battery storage facilities. The council members expressed concerns about the scale of the proposed facilities, highlighting the need for careful consideration of the project's impact on the local environment and community.
Despite this disagreement, Südwerk remains committed to the project's aim of generating green energy, and will operate both the photovoltaic plant and the proposed battery storage units. The company will continue to engage with the local community and relevant authorities to address any concerns and move the project forward in a responsible and sustainable manner.
The photovoltaic plant, responsible for the production of renewable energy, is planned to incorporate a battery storage system, which will store excess energy for later use, thereby contributing to the renewable-energy industry. The initial capacity of the battery storage units is projected at 20 MWh, with a potential future increase of up to 50 MWh, subject to financing and further approvals from the finance sector.
