EnBW has inaugurated a hydrogen-ready gas turbine power plant in Stuttgart-Münster as part of its commitment to decarbonisation and grid stability in southern Germany. The plant's establishment signifies a crucial step towards balancing renewable energy sources, providing flexibility to tackle grid fluctuations efficiently. EnBW's CEO emphasized the necessity of regulatory incentives from the German government to support investments in power plant capacity for the energy transition. The existing combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Stuttgart-Münster has undergone significant modernization, now housing a new gas turbine plant with substantial output. This initiative aligns with Stuttgart's ambitious goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2035, with plans to decommission coal-fired units and fuel oil-fired gas turbines by spring 2026. Moreover, EnBW's broader decarbonisation strategy involves converting coal-fired sites in Altbach/Deizisau and Heilbronn to hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants, indicating a shift towards sustainable energy solutions. As part of its investment efforts, EnBW aims to allocate €1.6bn towards decarbonising its power plant portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to a greener future. Additionally, the company plans to enhance grid stability in southern Germany by installing a 100MW battery storage system in Marack, focusing on grid stabilization rather than direct power supply to households.
