Background
In December 2023, PreussenElektra revealed plans to potentially develop a battery storage facility at the decommissioned Brokdorf plant site. The proposed battery storage facility would have 800 MW / 1,600 MWh of capacity. The site operator needs a decommissioning and dismantling permit for the nuclear power plant. PreussenElektra submitted the dismantling application in 2017 and is still waiting to have it approved.[3]
