Generating green electricity

Deutsche Telekom is already focussing on renewable energies and plans to generate 250 gigawatt hours of energy itself using solar and wind power by 2030. The energy transition is increasing the proportion of renewable energies in the electricity grid, making energy generation increasingly volatile. Battery storage systems are needed to ensure that the electricity requirements of the communication networks can be met around the clock.

Primary control power stabilises the power grid

PASM will use the systems for balancing group equalisation and offer them on the market for balancing energy. To this end, we have installed an indoor system with 6.4 MWh in Münster and storage systems with 26 MWh each in Bamberg and Hanover. By providing primary control power in the event of a short-term load change in the electricity grid, our storage systems cushion the associated frequency fluctuations and relieve and support the electricity grid.
