Munich, June 17, 2026 – Kyon Energy continues to expand large-scale battery storage systems in Germany: In the coming months, projects in Faid (Cochem-Zell district, Rhineland-Palatinate) and Schobüll (Nordfriesland district, Schleswig-Holstein) will commence operations. Both facilities each have an installed capacity of approximately 20 MW and a storage capacity of approximately 41 MWh.
With the upcoming commissioning, Kyon Energy expands its portfolio as an Independent Flexibility Provider (IFP) at the medium voltage level. These two storage facilities are market-driven large-scale battery storage systems: Their operational strategy is determined by price signals in various electricity and system service markets. For example, they respond to shortages on electricity exchanges by feeding electricity into the grid, or by drawing electricity from the system during periods of high renewable energy production. In this way, they help to balance short-term price fluctuations and thus promote the market integration of renewable energies. The construction of both facilities proceeded on schedule despite sometimes challenging weather conditions. For instance, in Schobüll, the logistically demanding craning of large components was successfully carried out despite wintry conditions.
"With Faid and Schobüll, we are bringing two more storage sites online and creating additional flexibility for the electricity system of tomorrow," says Thomas Maubert, Managing Director of Kyon Energy. "Once in regular operation, these projects will counteract the extreme negative prices on electricity exchanges, like those we last saw at the beginning of May."
The commissioning in Faid and Schobüll are part of a dynamic expansion pipeline and mark another milestone in the expansion of Kyon Energy's storage portfolio. The company pursues an integrated approach, implementing large-scale battery storage systems along the entire value chain – from project development, construction, and technical implementation to the operation of the facilities. This strengthens Kyon Energy's role as an IFP in the German electricity market.
As a project developer, builder, and operator, numerous battery storage systems have already been successfully developed, and the portfolio continuously expanded. In total, storage projects with a capacity of over 269 MW have already been realized; another 1.5 GW of projects are in the implementation phase. For the current year, Kyon Energy plans further commissioning with a cumulative capacity in the three-digit megawatt range.
