Münch Energie secures project financing for 100 MW BESS Portfolio in Saxony-Anhalt

Münch Energie Group (Münch Energie) has successfully closed project financing for two additional large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, each with a capacity of 50 MW (discharge) and 100 MWh storage. The long‑term, asset‑based financing solution was supported by Capcora as the exclusive financial advisor and structured by DAL Deutsche Anlagen‑Leasing (DAL). The project funds are being provided by a banking consortium led by DAL/Deutsche Leasing Finance GmbH.

Both projects are fully permitted, benefit from secured grid connections, and are scheduled to commence operations by June 2026. The systems are connected to the grid at a newly constructed high-voltage substation built specifically for this purpose, which transforms the voltage from 31.5 kV to 110 kV for direct grid integration.

The projects are part of a portfolio of five battery storage systems in Saxony-Anhalt, with a total storage capacity of approximately 500 MWh and a combined power of 250 MW. The battery systems are designed to participate in primary and secondary control reserve as well as intraday markets.

The project is strategically located adjacent to existing renewable energy infrastructure and is designed to participate in various energy trading markets. This technical concept ensures flexibility for future market developments.

The long‑term financing solution provided by DAL and Deutsche Leasing Finance enables Münch Energie to implement two of Saxony-Anhalt’s most significant storage projects, designed to stabilise the grid and optimise the integration of renewable energy sources. Both storages will serve as cornerstones for flexible energy infrastructure, supporting Germany’s transition to a sustainable power system.

The transaction underlines the growing importance of battery storage as a key pillar of the energy transition. By intelligently managing energy flows, the projects will reduce grid congestion, enhance system stability, and maximise the value of renewable generation.

“With the financing, we have achieved a true anchor financing for our battery storage rollout. This transaction marks not only the first financing of our BESS cluster in the region, but also lays the foundation for the further expansion of our energy storage portfolio,” said Mario Münch, Managing Partner of Münch Energie. ”By securing this milestone, we are able to accelerate the deployment of large-scale storage solutions, supporting the energy transition and strengthening the resilience of the local grid. Our commitment is to deliver tangible value for municipalities, businesses, and citizens, and this financing is a decisive step towards that goal.”

Dr. Peer Günzel, Managing Director & Head of Infrastructure and Supply Division, DAL added: “We are delighted to  support Münch Energie in implementing one of Germany’s largest battery storage projects currently under development together with our partners. High investment costs, short technological innovation cycles, and market‑dependent revenues make financing this key technology demanding. With tailored financing solutions, we support pioneers like Münch Energie in realising these complex investment projects and contribute to further advancing the energy transition.“

“This transaction sets a new benchmark for battery storage projects in Germany. By integrating large-scale storage with existing renewable energy assets at the same grid connection point, Münch Energie is optimising the use of grid infrastructure and unlocking new value streams. The project demonstrates how innovative structuring and close collaboration between technology leaders and financial partners can deliver scalable, future-proof solutions for the energy market. We are proud to have supported Münch Energie in bringing this flagship project to fruitions,” said Alexander Enrique Kuhn, Managing Partner at Capcora.
