The lithium-ion storage system in Schmölln has a capacity of three megawatt hours. juwi O&M is responsible for the operational management. The same applies to the 3.7-megawatt hour battery storage system of the approximately ten-megawatt solar park in Seckach (Baden-Württemberg). Here, juwi O&M is also responsible for service.
