Aachen, 10.04.2025 – Voltfang, a leading provider of green battery storage systems for industry, commerce, and grid-scale applications, is installing multiple high-performance battery systems at Stuttgart Airport with a total capacity of 540 kWh. These systems are designed to optimize self-consumption, cap peak loads, enable energy trading, and ensure a stable power supply. Voltfang thus contributes to Stuttgart Airport’s goal of reducing CO₂ emissions, becoming climate neutral by 2040, and positioning itself as one of the most sustainable airports in Europe.
Voltfang’s battery storage systems are connected to both the power grid and the photovoltaic systems at Stuttgart Airport. In addition, suitable charging infrastructure for trucks is being installed, which will also be connected to the battery system. This allows complete energy flow control, and thanks to the integrated energy management software, both energy consumption and costs can be optimized.
The system integration of battery storage, charging infrastructure, and photovoltaics into existing systems was made possible in a very short time with the support of Omexom Smart Technologies GmbH, using a custom-designed central hub as the node for these components. This enables simplified integration of up to one megawatt of power demand and up to two megawatts of supply capacity through the use of the battery storage system. We are demonstrating, together with Omexom, how new and green infrastructure in Germany can function today in order to help ensure Germany’s energy security,” says David Oudsendij, CEO and co-founder of Voltfang.
“The new battery storage system is another building block in our ambitious climate strategy to make airport operations climate-neutral by 2040. E-mobility and the eco-friendly transformation of many ground operations will require more electricity in the future, which is why we are producing more and more solar energy directly at the airport,” says Carsten Poralla from Stuttgart Airport.
This project is a flagship initiative in the energy management of large facilities like airports. Plans for expanding the storage system are already underway. To make the airport climate-neutral by 2040, a storage system approximately 10 times larger is needed.
