Hamburg, 24 October 2022 - The international law firm ADVANT Beiten has advised TransnetBW GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG headquartered in Stuttgart, on the award, negotiation and conclusion of the project agreements with Fluence Energy GmbH, a global leader in energy storage technologies, for the construction of the Kupferzell grid booster pilot plant. With a capacity of 250 megawatts, the world's largest battery storage facility is currently scheduled for completion and operation in 2025.
