Flower has advanced its internally developed battery energy storage system (BESS) project located in Bergedorf, Hamburg, to ready-to-build status after securing land, grid connections, and permits. The project has an installed capacity of 100 MW/400 MWh. The project is expected to commence operations in late 2028 and represents a major step in the company’s expansion strategy in Germany.
In May 2026, Flower advanced its internally developed 10 MW/20 MWh battery energy storage system project in Gersheim, Saarland, to ready-to-build status after securing land, grid connections, and permits. The project is scheduled to commence operations in 2027 and marks Flower’s second ready-to-build BESS project in Germany following the Hamburg BESS project.
In March 2026, Flower acquired a 63 MW/257 MWh ready-to-build battery energy storage system project in Döllnitz, Saxony-Anhalt. The project was acquired from CCE through a share purchase agreement and has secured grid connection and all required permits. The project construction is expected to commence in 2027 with commercial operations targeted for 2028. Flower will oversee financing, EPC, operations, commercialization, and continued realization for the project.
REGlobal’s Views: Germany has a huge pipeline of solar and wind power projects, boosted by the host of auctions and C&I uptake over the past few months. However, the country suffers from grid-related challenges that can create issues in integration of this renewable power. Thus, BESS, which can be deployed fairly quickly when compared to new T&D systems is a suitable option for the country to resolve some of its grid-related issues. Thus, Germany has emerged as a very attractive BESS market in Europe, with significant opportunity for deployment.
