Elements Green Plans 35 MW Photovoltaic Plant with 800 MWh Storage in Germany

Elements Green Secures Grid Connection for Alfstedt Solar and Battery Storage Project

The British solar and energy storage developer, Elements Green, has received grid connection confirmation for its ambitious project in Alfstedt, Lower Saxony. The development includes a 35-megawatt photovoltaic system paired with a 400-megawatt, two-hour battery storage system.

Elements Green has marked a significant milestone in advancing its project in Alfstedt, Lower Saxony. The company announced that it has secured grid connection approval for the site.

Upon completion, the Alfstedt project will feature a 35-megawatt open-space photovoltaic system and a battery storage facility with a capacity of 400 megawatts of power and 800 megawatt hours.

The grid connection approval came after a favorable decision from the municipality of Alfstedt, which confirmed the project’s adherence to local regulations and expressed municipal support, according to the company.

"We are excited to bring our vision to fruition, creating a state-of-the-art photovoltaic and energy storage solution while positively impacting the local environment. This milestone is another crucial step towards establishing ourselves as a leader in the German photovoltaic and battery storage market," said Michael Zimmerman, Head of Project Execution at Elements Green in Germany.

The first public hearing for the Alfstedt project is scheduled for late 2024. Interested parties can register their interest through the company’s website. "We welcome discussions with residents, business owners, and community organizations as our project progresses," the company stated.

Elements Green is developing a pipeline exceeding 12 gigawatts, with teams active in the UK, EU, Australia, and the US. Recently, the company announced it had received planning permission for its 360 megawatt/720 megawatt-hour Staythorpe Battery Energy Storage System project in the UK, which will be developed alongside a massive 800 megawatt solar farm.
