In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, we will install one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland with a total capacity of 65 megawatt hours. Primeo Energie will use the stand-alone storage system to make energy more flexible and store electricity temporarily and withdraw it again when it is needed.
In this way, the system will help to stabilise the Swiss power grid. With this large-scale storage system, we are making a decisive contribution to the implementation of Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to convert 100 per cent of its energy supply to renewable energies by 2050.
Battery technology is at the center of Western Switzerland’s energy challenges. The Swiss Battery Technology Center develops solutions to reduce the carbon footprint and improve the life cycle of the batteries of tomorrow. Using energy in a more sustainable and efficient way is a major objective in the context of sustainable development.
Frederik Süllwald, our Head of Global Sales & Key Account Management, explains: ‘ Large battery storage systems will play an increasingly important role in stabilising the power grid in the future. Our stand-alone storage system will help to
The new large-scale battery for Switzerland in Kappel supports the Energy Strategy 2050 and supports renewable energies.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
