We utilize vacant municipal land – strengthening the climate, the grid, and the budget.
Land wanted – make your site part of the energy transition
The energy transition presents many municipalities with challenges: grid fluctuations, curtailed renewable energy, and untapped potential. A battery storage park offers a solution – without the need for your own investment.
As a grid-scale provider, we develop stand-alone large-scale battery storage systems on suitable sites in your municipality. These storage systems stabilize the grid, prevent the shutdown of renewable energy plants, and ensure a reliable power supply.
Additionally, your municipality benefits economically: a battery storage park increases trade tax revenues and makes an active contribution to the energy transition.
Why is battery storage important for municipalities?
- Predictable trade tax revenues without additional costs
- Improve grid stability & optimize the use of renewable energy
- Actively promote climate protection – without your own effort

Municipalities benefit financially, ecologically, and structurally:
Trade tax revenues strengthen the budget.
New jobs are created in construction, operation, and maintenance.
Brownfield sites and less attractive plots are put to meaningful use.
Image gain as a climate-friendly and innovative municipality.
In addition to trade taxes, participation models for municipalities or community energy companies are possible. This allows municipalities to benefit directly from economic success.
The municipality supports urban land-use planning and permitting and serves as a contact for citizens. Voltfang handles the technical planning, implementation, and operation.
No. Grid-scale storage systems are quiet, safe, and emission-free. During the construction phase, there is temporary construction traffic and noise; after commissioning, there are no significant burdens.
Yes. Municipalities can invest directly in storage projects through participation models or partnerships. This secures additional income and promotes regional value creation.
Implementation usually takes 18 to 36 months, depending on the grid connection and permitting situation.
