Fürstenfeld's Green Revolution: Austria's largest battery storage system!

In a revolutionary step for energy supply, NGEN GmbH inaugurated the largest battery storage facility in Austria on February 7, 2025 in Fürstenfeld. This impressive system, which is equipped with a capacity of 24 MWh and consists of six Tesla Megapacks 2XL, will play a crucial role in stabilizing the power grid and storing renewable energies. "This battery storage system is not only a technical achievement, but also a symbol of what is possible when we combine sustainability and innovation," said Roman Bernard, CEO of the Ngen Group. Commissioning was carried out only seven months after the start of the project, which demonstrates the innovative strength of the NGEN team. The system will contribute to the improvement of network stability and security of supply, especially at peak times in which the demand for electricity exceeds the supply, by storing renewable energy and releasing if necessary, according to Matija Dolinar, Managing Director of Ngen GmbH.

New projects in Germany

Not only in Austria something is happening. Ngen GmbH has also received a strategic partnership with Uniper to build a battery storage system in Petershagen, Germany. This system will have an impressive capacity of 50 MW or 100 MWh and should go into operation by 2025. With a total of 26 energy storage packages, which contain rechargeable lithium battery modules, this system will promote the integration of renewable energies and improve the stability of the power grid. Jan Taschenberger, COO of New Green Power & Gas at Uniper, said: "Energy storage plays an important role in the development of green growth and strategy." Roman Bernard emphasizes that this cooperation will enable NGEN to promote innovative strength and to make a significant contribution to a more sustainable energy system in Germany.

With the construction of the battery storage systems in Austria and Germany, NGEN impressively shows that the future of energy supply can be designed green, efficiently and intelligently. The projects not only underline the company's technology and innovation spirit, but also its commitment to promote the energy transition throughout the DACH region while creating economic advantages at the same time.
