EnBW has inaugurated a hydrogen-ready gas turbine power plant in Stuttgart-Münster, highlighting its commitment to decarbonisation and grid stability. The plant, serving as a model for future projects, addresses the growing need for flexible power solutions in southern Germany to balance renewable energy sources. EnBW's CEO emphasized the necessity of regulatory incentives from the German government to facilitate investment in dispatchable power plant capacity. The Stuttgart-Münster site, originally focused on waste incineration, has been transformed with the installation of a new gas turbine plant with a gross electrical output of 114MW. This modernised combined heat and power (CHP) plant caters to both base load and peak load supply, providing significant electrical and thermal energy to Stuttgart. The plant's readiness for hydrogen is essential in expanding renewable energy and ensuring quick responses to grid fluctuations. EnBW's strategic plan includes converting coal-fired sites to hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants, showcasing a total capacity of 1.5GW and a substantial investment of €1.6bn ($1.8bn). Furthermore, the company is set to implement a 100MW battery storage system at its Marack power plant site by 2024 to enhance the stability of the southern German electricity grid. This progressive approach aligns with EnBW's broader goal of decarbonising its power plant portfolio and contributing to a sustainable energy future.
