Revitalizing Energy: Westfalen Weser's Innovative Battery Storage Project at Former Nuclear Plant Site

German utility Westfalen Weser plans to build a 120 MW/280 MWh battery storage facility at a former nuclear power plant site in Würgassen, North Rhine-Westphalia. This marks a new trend in repurposing retired nuclear sites for battery storage projects. The facility, scheduled for completion in 2026, aims to support Germany's increasing renewable energy generation. This development follows a broader trend in Germany, with plans for additional large-scale battery projects at former nuclear plant sites.
