Simply GIGA

The energy transition is a turning point for all of us. Millions of households, industry and public life need climate-neutral options for electricity and heat supply - at any time, flexibly and competitively. We are rethinking this energy, with a clear commitment to change and a sustainable future.

In an innovative electricity factory, the GigawattFactory, we combine photovoltaic and wind energy with new types of power plants, large-scale storage facilities and green hydrogen. This makes electricity from sun and wind available around the clock, whether in summer or winter. The GigawattFactory is growing at energy sites in the Lusatian region, but also in other places in Germany. Discover what the future holds.

Renewable Energies

In the field of renewable energies, we want to realise a unique project pipeline for Germany together with our partners. These wind and PV parks are to grow primarily on former mining sites, but also on third-party sites. The first four gigawatts are already under development.

Battery Storage Facilities

Battery storage systems are an essential component of the energy industry of the future. They advance the energy transition by stabilising the energy supply. One of Germany's largest battery parks is to be built in Lusatia in the coming years. The BigBatteries in Schwarze Pumpe (in operation since 2020) and Boxberg (under construction) will be the first.

H2-ready Power Plants

Flexible backup power plants are needed to balance out and stabilise fluctuations in electricity generation from the sun and wind. This paves the way for a 24/7 secure and climate-friendly energy supply. We are planning corresponding investments in H2-ready power plants at our existing energy sites.

Our hydrogen power plant projects
Green Hydrogen

Hydrogen produced with electricity from renewable sources is an all-round talent for climate-neutral energy, industry and mobility of the future. In cooperative projects, we are working on closed, regional value chains for green hydrogen, for example in public transport.
