EnBW plans to convert a former nuclear power site in Philippsburg into one of Germany's largest battery storage systems. The facility will have a capacity of 400 MW and 800 MWh, enough to power approximately 100,000 homes, and will help stabilize the grid by storing surplus renewable energy. The project is strategically located near a large substation connected to the Ultranet power line.
