Turning land into the future – become part of the energy transition now
The energy transition needs stable solutions – and that is exactly where we come in. As a grid-scale provider, we develop stand-alone large-scale battery storage systems for suitable sites. Our storage systems stabilize the grid, balance fluctuations in renewable energy, and ensure a reliable power supply.
Companies such as Aldi, McDonald’s and Rossmann use our battery storage systems to store surplus energy and operate more sustainably. By using second-life EV batteries, we make renewable energy efficiently usable and actively contribute to sustainable resource use.
What does that mean for you as a landowner?
- You provide the land – we take care of everything else and pay reliable lease income.
- You make an important contribution to a secure & stable energy supply.
- You help drive the energy transition forward – with no effort on your part.

Which sites are suitable for leasing?
We are looking for available sites to build stand-alone large-scale battery storage systems near substations or medium-voltage connections.
Our requirements
- Minimum size: 450 m² (ideal: 2,000–10,000 m²)
- Locations: commercial or industrial sites, green strips, outdoor areas
- Distance: max. 1,000 m from a substation or medium-voltage connection point (10–30 kV)
- Does your site meet these criteria? Have it assessed with no obligation.
Battery storage park vs. solar park
| Battery storage park | Solar park | |
|---|---|---|
|
Lease payment |
€10–€20/m² per year – that is 5 to 8 times more than solar parks. |
€1–€3/m² per year |
|
Land use |
Still partially usable (e.g., commercial sites, green strips, parking lots) |
Land is permanently occupied |
|
Planning law & permitting |
Potentially a privileged development project – easier to implement |
Often lengthy permitting processes |

Your questions
our answers
Suitable sites are level, well-developed areas near substations or medium-voltage lines. Brownfield sites, commercial areas, or unused land are particularly attractive. Secure access and a location without flood risk are important.
Landowners can generate annual income by leasing their land. With 1,000 m², up to €10,000–€20,000 per year is possible – depending on location and proximity to the grid connection. This often makes grid-scale projects significantly more lucrative than solar parks.
As a rule, sites from 450 m² are economically attractive. Smaller plots can be used in exceptional cases if the grid connection is particularly favorable.
The lease agreements typically run for 15 to 30 years. After that, the facility is dismantled and the site is restored to its original condition.
Payments are contractually guaranteed for at least 15 years, often with automatic extensions. In addition, the lease payments are regularly indexed, so they are protected against inflation.
Minimal. Voltfang handles site assessment, permits, construction, operation and maintenance. Owners do not need to be actively involved.
The facilities are emission-free and quiet. The only operating noise comes from ventilation systems and transformers, which are insulated so that statutory limits are not exceeded. During construction, there may be temporary traffic and noise; afterwards, any impact is barely noticeable.
Yes. Both farmers and private individuals can lease suitable sites – residual areas or land with low agricultural use are particularly interesting.
Voltfang will review your site details free of charge (site plan or coordinates) and assess suitability based on grid connection, site area and permitting feasibility.
