GIGA Storage has officially entered the German battery energy storage market through the acquisition of a large-scale BESS project, marking a major step in its international expansion strategy.

The company has acquired Project Albatross, a 350MW / 1400MWh battery energy storage system located near Merzen, Lower Saxony. Developed by Isenau Projects, a specialist in large-scale storage solutions in Germany, the project is designed to provide critical grid services including renewable energy integration, frequency regulation, and local congestion management within one of Germany’s primary energy corridors.

“This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our international growth,” GIGA Storage said in a statement. The company plans to take an active role in advancing Project Albatross by contributing development capital, technical expertise, and operational capabilities, with the goal of bringing the project to construction-ready status.

The deal is backed by InfraVia Capital Partners, a leading European infrastructure investor and majority shareholder of GIGA Storage.

Kevin Dijkers, CEO of GIGA Storage, commented:

“Our ambition is to develop and operate multiple gigawatts of energy storage capacity across Europe in the coming years. With the support of InfraVia and our growing project pipeline, we are making significant strides toward this goal – contributing to both energy security and sustainability in key European markets.”

Sven Moos, Managing Director of Isenau Projects, added:

“We are excited to collaborate with GIGA Storage on Project Albatross. This transaction reflects our focus on high-quality BESS projects that meet the needs of grid operators, investors, and policymakers. Our shared commitment to quality, innovation, and the energy transition makes this partnership both natural and compelling.”

With Project Albatross, GIGA Storage strengthens its presence in one of Europe’s most strategic energy markets and reinforces its commitment to enabling a resilient, renewable-powered grid.
