BESS Krumpa I
46 MW, 102 MWh (2.2 hours) in Braunsbedra, Sachsen-Anhalt, registered as operating since 29 January 2026. Everything on this page is read from Germany’s register of power units and the other published records named beside each fact.
What it is
The register holds this battery as one unit.
| Unit | Register number | MW | MWh | Commissioned | Battery | Grid operator check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BESS Krumpa I | SEE974038381946 | 46 | 102 | 29 January 2026 | Lithium | under check |
Power is the net power the operator registered, the most the unit may feed into the grid. Energy is the usable capacity of the unit’s installation. A grid operator check marked “checked” means the grid company has confirmed the entry; “under check” means it has not yet. On the large sites we compared, the register’s commissioning date often came months before the owner’s announced start, which suggests it records first energisation.
Who runs it and who owns it
| Operator in the register | Commercial register entry, as the operator gave it | Seat |
|---|---|---|
| Münch EnerStore GmbH | Amtsgericht Bayreuth HRB 8429 | Rugendorf, Bayern |
Owner. Münch Gruppe, Rugendorf (family business; owners not named), through Münch group, presumed. Inferred: the operator shares a company address with this family, and its own entry was not read. Every battery of this family.
The register names the operator, the company that runs the unit. The owner behind it comes from the commercial register (Handelsregister) or the owner’s own publication, as marked. The register number is the one the operator typed in; on 11 October 2026 we found it wrong or missing for 26 of the companies we looked up.

| Also published | Krumpa I is part of the Münch Leuna-Krumpa cluster; register lists it separately from the Leuna/Merseburg group though pv magazine reports the cluster as one 250 MW, five-part plant our inference pv magazine Deutschland, 13 August 2026 |
| Also published | Inferred: Suena markets three 49.5 MW / 101 MWh Münch assets; Krumpa I (101.6 MWh in register, 101.592 MWh from CNTE) matches that size and may be one of them; no source names the three our inference ESS News, 25 March 2026 |

What this page cannot show
Germany publishes no battery’s metered output. On 11 October 2026 we checked the four public sources that might carry it: the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, SMARD, the yearly EEG data and the transmission companies’ redispatch records. None gives the output of any German battery, one by one or as a fleet. So this page cannot say what the battery exported, imported or earned, as Britain’s battery pages do.
