Germany, Dec. 10 -- Statkraft, Europe's largest producer of renewable energy, today commissioned Germany's largest solar battery storage hybrid power plant under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG).The modern, EUR 45 million hybrid power plant was built on about 41 hectares of the former gravel pit. The 46.4-megawatt solar farm generates almost 50,000 MWh of green electricity per year - enough to supply around 14,000 households and save around 32,000 tons of CO? annually. The solar power generated receives a market premium from the EEG innovation tender. The 88 battery cubes, each with 16 lithium-ion batteries and a total capacity of 16 MW, store up to 57 MWh of electricity. They can store the surplus electricity from the solar modules d...
