Voltfang combines multiple batteries from electric vehicles to create energy storage systems that ensure innovative and green electricity management in commercial buildings. A pilot project featuring a 200-kWh large-scale energy storage system from Voltfang, including energy management systems and a powerful inverter, marks the start of the partnership between Voltfang and Goldbeck. The fully integrated solution is compatible with solar PV systems as well as heat pumps.
Goldbeck is building a 9,000-square-metre logistics hall and offices for the sporting goods manufacturer Teveo in the Nuremberg metropolitan area. Voltfang is equipping the facility with a sustainable energy concept, including a 749 kWp photovoltaic system and 16 charging points for electric cars. The aim is to determine the optimum storage system size for various buildings in Goldbeck's portfolio. Future projects with commercial storage systems will be effectively scaled on this basis. This first project includes the possibility to increase the battery storage system's capacity to a maximum of 700 kWh.
“When my father founded Goldbeck, he was already considering systematising construction and doing things differently” said Jan-Hendrik Goldbeck, Managing Partner at Goldbeck. “We are characterised by a pioneering spirit and a desire to innovate; we plan, construct, and operate forward-looking buildings. That is why we focus on smart solutions such as an energy-optimised building envelope, efficient building technology, and renewable energies. Together with Voltfang, we want to make the energy management of buildings even more efficient and less dependent on electricity suppliers. Customers have the ability to control the consumption of green electricity in their properties more precisely with their own battery storage systems.”
Given the German government's ambitious climate targets in the building and real estate sectors and the suboptimal energy efficiency of existing buildings, quick solutions are needed that will help scale up the decarbonisation of the building sector in the near future. Voltfang and Goldbeck are actively committed to a positive change in energy supply and security. Combining large energy storage systems with photovoltaic systems and heat pumps is the ideal approach to quickly make the building sector fit for the future.
“The cooperation with Goldbeck is good news for Voltfang and an important step for the future of circular building operation” added Roman Alberti, founder and Managing Director of Voltfang. “We are looking forward to integrating our storage solution into Goldbeck buildings. It is an exciting project that will further define the future of the energy supply.”
Aurum Impact, an impact investing company that is part of the Goldbeck Family Office, acquired a stake in Voltfang in April 2023. The company invests in innovative start-ups and funds that tackle environmental and social challenges. Other investors include Proptech1, AENU, and private investors such as Max Viessmann.
