NGEN Austria has started construction on an 85 MW / 170 MWh battery system in Wagenham, Upper Austria. The project is intended to balance wind and solar variability and support long-term grid stability. The development comes as Austria's storage requirement is projected to rise. Blackvolt builds the infrastructure backbone of Austria's energy transition. The portfolio spans utility-scale battery storage projects across multiple Austrian federal states, from the first BESS asset in construction to a development pipeline exceeding 2 GWh. Storage demand will increase eightfold to 8. 7 GW by 2040 to enable 100% renewable electricity by 2030. It installed it in record time – just seven months. Located in Fürstenfeld, in the country's southeast, the facility has 24 MWh in capacity and a maximum output of 12 MW.
