EnBW's Marcel Schepers Discusses Future of Co-Location and Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems at Panel Discussion

Marcel Schepers from EnBW Trading discusses the future of energy systems by combining renewable sources and battery storage through co-location and hybrid parks. EnBW, one of Germany's largest utilities with about 30% market share in Europe, is pioneering this approach. They manage a diverse portfolio including renewables like solar and wind totaling around 10 gigawatts as of early 2023. Schepers explains how co-located assets—renewable plants and batteries sharing a single site—enhance system flexibility and trading efficiency compared to standalone setups. In these integrated systems, excess energy during peak production times can be stored in batteries for use during low-production periods or negative price hours, optimizing revenue potential through strategies like peak shaving. EnBW also offers third-party services such as O&M (operation & maintenance) for these projects. Special metering concepts ensure compliance with local regulations to maintain subsidies for green energy projects. This innovative model is part of their mission to advance the energy transition efficiently while maximizing synergies between different technologies.
