Timeline

The project was implemented in several consecutive phases with clear milestones.

Q4/2023

Site Securing & Grid Capacity Inquiry

At the end of 2023, we secured a site in Barsinghausen, Lower Saxony, approximately half an hour west of Hanover. In parallel with the land use contract negotiations, the necessary grid connection processes were initiated, including a 15MW inquiry with the responsible grid operator, Avacon.

Henning Prigge, Director at Capcora

"This transaction marks a milestone for the German battery storage market. Terra One has demonstrated that large-scale BESS portfolios can already mobilize significant institutional capital today, provided that projects are technically sound, structurally well-organized, and strategically positioned. We are proud to have supported Terra One in setting a new benchmark for the market."

Impact

Crucial for Lower Saxony's energy goals

The Barsinghausen battery storage facility will be connected to the local substation (EWE/Avacon/Tennet grid). It supports Lower Saxony's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2040 and Germany's leading green electricity producer through the expansion of 95 GW of renewable energy.

15 MW

Since commissioning, the battery storage system has been actively traded in several energy markets via the Terra One platform.
In this way, you can react flexibly to price signals and continuously increase revenue potential.

60 MWh

Optimizing battery storage across multiple markets — in combination with regional PV generation marketed by Terra One in the same grid area. Generation, storage and marketing are intelligently intertwined.
