Encavis uses AI-supported optimisation by Entrix for its first 24 MWh battery storage system in Germany
 

Hamburg/Munich, 05 May 2025 – Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator Encavis AG is starting a new chapter in the flexibilisation of its own renewables portfolio with the battery storage system in Hettstedt (Saxony-Anhalt). The plant with an output of 12 MW and a capacity of 24 MWh will be optimised across all relevant electricity markets - including balancing energy markets (PRL, SRL), the day-ahead market and the intraday market - by Entrix, a specialist in AI-supported multi-market optimisation of battery storage systems. Real-time market data, storage status and technical framework conditions are intelligently linked with the aim of maximising economic performance both in short-term trading and with regard to Encavis' wind and solar power generation portfolio.

Steffen Schülzchen, founder and CEO of Entrix: „We are delighted to realise this milestone together with Encavis. Storage is not just a backup - it is an active part of the generation strategy. Our optimisation ensures that flexibility brings the greatest benefit at all times - both economically and systemically.”

The project is technologically supported by TokWise - a software provider specialising in AI-based portfolio management. Encavis, TokWise and Entrix are working together on an integrated solution for marketing and portfolio optimisation with the aim of adapting electricity generation, consumption and storage even more precisely to volatile market developments. The battery is not only used for marketing on the energy market, but also as an active component of the portfolio - to maximise the overall yield and make energy use more flexible. Entrix complements this digital ecosystem as an operational partner with leading trading and integration expertise in the battery sector.

“We are carefully preparing this important step into battery technology and usage across Encavis’ core European markets. As part of this strategy, we are proud to launch our first battery project and to have such a strong partner like Entrix at our side,” says Mario Schirru, CIO/COO and Spokesman of the Board of Encavis AG.

The mtu EnergyPack QG storage system will be supplied by Rolls-Royce. Technical commissioning is imminent and commercial operation is planned for the second quarter of 2025.
