The Bollingstedt installation is currently Alpiq’s largest operational battery storage project, surpassing two existing facilities in France and Finland.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed by Alpiq or the seller, Eco Stor. The expansion aligns with the company’s strategy to diversify its energy infrastructure amid rising demand for grid stability and renewable energy integration across Europe.
