• Joint operating company founded by Stadtwerke Nürtingen GmbH, ADS-TEC Energy and BEGiNT (Citizens’ Energy Cooperative Nürtingen)
• 10 MWh battery storage system (5 MW) commissioned in Nürtingen
• Participation model combines regional investment with the economic use of energy flexibility

Nürtingen, Germany, May 12, 2026 – Local stakeholders and industry partners in Nürtingen are implementing a new joint investment model for energy infrastructure: Stadtwerke Nürtingen GmbH, ADS-TEC Energy and the citizens’ energy cooperative BEGiNT are investing equally in a joint operating company to realize a large-scale battery storage system with a capacity of 10 MWh and an output of 5 MW.

The battery storage system will be installed at the Stadtwerke Nürtingen site on Weberstraße, with commissioning planned for the end of 2026.

The system is designed to generate additional revenues by utilizing price fluctuations in electricity markets. At the same time, it can help integrate renewable energy more efficiently into the local grid and reduce peak loads.

“The partnership combines local roots with technological expertise,” says Jonas Graßhoff, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Nürtingen GmbH. “This enables us to develop new business models around flexibility and energy markets.”

“We are deliberately participating not only as a technology provider, but also as an investor and operator,” says Michael Rudloff, COO of ADS-TEC Energy. “By contributing our experience in storage operation and energy market participation directly to the project, we aim to create a commercially viable model for battery storage deployment.”
