Germany, Bavarian Swabia: Amprion and E.ON have implemented the decentralized grid booster, integrating modular battery storage systems into E.ON’s distribution grid.

The pioneering solution that improves grid stability and saves costs will be implemented by LEW Verteilnetz (LVN) in Bavarian Swabia.

The decentralized grid booster employs smaller modular battery storage systems at the distribution grid level, reducing connection costs, increasing availability, and improving flexibility. These modular components can be implemented more efficiently and have minimal environmental impact. By reducing the need for grid interventions, the grid booster enhances overall system efficiency. The decentralized modules have a combined capacity of nearly 250 MW.

LEW Verteilnetz in Bavarian Swabia will be the first to deploy this innovative system, with implementation scheduled for 2026.
