Reference project

Kerschgens sustainably reduces peak loads

How does a traditional steel trader in Stolberg set new standards for sustainable energy? Kerschgens Werkstoffe demonstrates how smart storage technology and local commitment reduce peak loads, cut costs, and sustainably lower CO₂ emissions. Together with Voltfang, the company is paving the way to an efficient and climate-friendly future.

Profile

We were convinced from the start by Voltfang’s spirit and hands-on mentality: They committed 100% to achieving the best result for Kerschgens.”
– Felix Herbort (Managing Director)

Implemented use case

At Kerschgens Werkstoffe, the Voltfang battery storage ensures a stable and cost-efficient energy supply—even with fluctuating production demands. At the same time, it optimizes self-consumption of the self-generated electricity and effectively reduces peak loads. The smart energy management system flexibly adapts to the specific requirements.

Aim of the project

Kerschgens Werkstoffe aims to use energy sustainably, reduce costs, and cut CO₂ emissions. After successfully installing the 1.3 MWh Voltfang storage system, an expansion by another 1.8 MWh is planned to further increase energy efficiency and ensure long-term sustainable energy supply. Additionally, the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is being expanded, and the vehicle fleet is being gradually electrified. The project highlights the importance of innovative partnerships and sustainable storage solutions for an economic and ecological transformation.

Our customized solution

A powerful, modular storage system with a capacity of 1.3 MWh was installed. The battery storage units consist of requalified electric vehicle batteries and are specially tailored to the requirements of Kerschgens Werkstoffe. The system has a capacity of up to 736 kW to effectively reduce peak loads and optimally increase self-consumption.
