Envision Energy, a China-based renewable energy and battery storage technology company, has partnered with ju:niz Energy to deliver its first Gen 8 BESS projects in Germany. The projects cover two sites with a combined capacity of 140.6 MWh, including S10 in Baindt and S15 in Schöningen. The collaboration was announced at Intersolar Europe in Munich and is tied to Envision Energy’s Future Energy Systems offering.
The project portfolio consists of S10 and S15, both located in Germany but in different regional grid settings. S10 is an 88.4MWh site in Baindt in southern Germany. S15 is a 52.2MWh site in Schöningen in northern Germany. Together, the two sites form the first German deployment context named for Envision Energy's Gen 8 BESS projects in the source.
ju Energy is described as the project developer, owner, and operator for the sites. Its role covers alignment with market requirements, regulatory expectations, grid-operator needs, stakeholder requirements, schedule milestones, and quality standards. Envision Energy is one of the main technology partners and will deliver an integrated storage system based on its Gen 8 BESS platform.
The Gen 8 BESS platform at S10 and S15 combines four-hour storage with grid-forming capability. This allows the projects to provide longer-duration dispatch and grid-stability support, rather than only short-term balancing. The two sites also give Envision Energy and ju:niz Energy a German reference for adapting storage systems to different regional grid conditions.
Henry Peng, Senior Vice President and President of EU and LATAM Regions at Envision Energy, said the projects cover different regional grid conditions and show how the Gen 8 BESS platform and AI-powered Future Energy Systems can serve different market needs. Dr. Thomas Stephanblome, CEO of ju:niz Energy, said Germany's energy transition requires storage infrastructure that can integrate renewable energy and support power supply for communities and businesses.
