Envision Energy and ju:niz Energy Unveil First Gen-8 Battery Storage Projects in Germany
On July 8, 2026, Envision Energy, a leader in green technologies, announced a groundbreaking partnership with ju:niz Energy to implement its first Gen-8 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in Germany, boasting a total capacity of 140.6 MWh. This collaboration, revealed at the Intersolar Europe event in Munich, signifies Envision's strategic entry into one of Europe's key storage markets, setting the stage for broader cooperation between the two companies.
The partnership encompasses two critical projects: Project S10, with an impressive 88.4 MWh capacity located in Baindt in southern Germany, and Project S15, a 52.2 MWh facility in Schöningen in northern Germany. As a leading project developer and operator, ju:niz Energy will ensure that these projects meet the needs of the market while adhering to the highest quality standards. Envision will lend its expertise as a vital technology partner, utilizing its global know-how in AI-powered future energy systems to provide a state-of-the-art integrated storage solution based on its latest Gen-8 BESS platform. This technology features a storage duration of four hours, cutting-edge battery technology, and grid-forming capabilities.
The projects are designed to address Germany's growing need for flexible and reliable energy infrastructure, enhancing grid flexibility, strengthening system resilience, and fostering greater integration of renewable energy sources. Together, they form the foundation for a more substantial collaboration between both companies as they explore further opportunities to expand next-generation storage infrastructure across Germany and Europe.
Envision's alliance with the well-versed ju:niz team—with its deep understanding of German regulatory and technical frameworks—coupled with Envision's extensive implementation experience, combines technological maturity with local expertise. This collaboration aims to ensure successful execution within a highly complex market. Additionally, these projects will serve as scalable reference examples for deploying next-generation storage solutions throughout Europe.
Henry Peng, Senior Vice President and President of Envision's EU and Latin America regions, stated, "These projects represent a crucial milestone for Envision's expansion into Germany and Europe. Covering varied regional grid conditions, they demonstrate how our integrated Gen-8 BESS platform and AI-driven future energy systems can adapt to diverse market demands. By merging advanced storage technologies with grid-forming capabilities, we aim to translate innovation into long-term system value and promote a more resilient energy future across Europe."
Dr. Thomas Stephanblome, CEO of ju:niz Energy, echoed this sentiment, saying, "Germany's energy transition is entering a new phase where advanced storage infrastructure will play a pivotal role in integrating renewable energies and ensuring a dependable power supply for both communities and businesses. We are excited to welcome another partner into our supplier network. Our collaborative projects with Envision reflect our shared commitment to delivering high-quality storage infrastructure tailored to the evolving grid requirements in Germany, while establishing a transferable pathway for storage solutions across the region."
