Eco Stor's Schuby Battery Project Takes Major Step with Giant Transformer Arrival
Eco Stor's ambitious battery storage project in Schuby, Schleswig-Holstein, has taken a significant step forward with the arrival of a colossal transformer. Weighing nearly 130 tons, this is the largest and heaviest component of the 103 megawatt, 238 megawatt-hour system. The transformer, which converts high voltage to medium voltage and vice versa, was carefully transported from Hungary on a 36-meter-long truck, requiring meticulous planning and detours.
The transformer, after its lengthy journey, was driven directly onto transformer rail tracks at the Schuby site and securely anchored due to its immense weight. This crucial component will convert the power down to a suitable voltage of 690 volts for the battery storage systems. The project, a twin of Eco Stor's operational battery storage system in Bollingstedt, is set to go online in early 2026.
The site in Schuby will host 64 containers filled with lithium-ion batteries and 32 containers for inverters and transformers, covering approximately 1.2 hectares. Eco Stor can now proceed with its work, thanks to the successful delivery of this transformer. However, the supplier of the large and heavy transformers remains unknown, as search results did not provide specific information.
With the transformer now in place, Eco Stor's battery storage project in Schuby is poised to make a significant contribution to Germany's renewable energy landscape. The project's progress ensures that the 103 megawatt power and 238 megawatt-hour capacity system is on track to go online in early 2026, further expanding Eco Stor's footprint in the region.
