Cities & municipalities
Shaping the energy transition as a community
For cities and municipalities
As a municipal decision-maker, you play a key role in driving the energy transition. Implementing a battery storage system strengthens your region’s renewable energy supply, contributes to national climate targets, and creates a sustainable source of revenue for your municipality.
Luxera stands for integrated solutions and long-term partnerships based on mutual trust and respect. From the start, we involve all relevant stakeholders, address key issues early on, and proactively manage potential challenges. With the support of our reliable financing partners, we ensure the successful realization of every project.
Your benefits at a glance
Trade Tax & Lease Income
90% of trade tax revenues remain in your municipality. Additional income can be generated through land leasing.
Customized Solutions
We ensure the success of your project by providing customized solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Local Energy, National Impact
Battery storage systems stabilize the grid, increase the use of renewables, and lower CO₂ emissions – both locally and across the country.
Flagship Project for the Energy Transition
Implementing a battery storage system demonstrates a strong signal of progress, enhances your community's innovative image, and sets an inspiring example for others to follow.

Battery storage systems play a key role in climate protection by enabling the integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources into the power grid. They store surplus electricity from solar and wind power during periods of low demand and release it when energy demand is high. This reduces reliance on fossil fuel power plants and significantly lowers CO₂ emissions.
The output of a battery storage system is determined by two main factors: the available grid connection capacity and the local conditions.
Smaller systems typically offer an output of 10–20 MW with a capacity of 20–40 MWh – enough to cover the electricity needs of 25,000-50,000 households for around two hours. Larger systems can deliver 60–80 MW of power and store 120–140 MWh of energy.
The space requirements depend on the specific project. For a 20 MW system, approximately 1,200-1,500 m² are needed for the battery system itself. In addition, depending on the location, an extra 300-1,200 m² may be required for infrastructure such as balancing equipment, access roads, and safety clearances — in line with local and regional regulations.
Lithium-ion batteries are space-efficient, recyclable, and highly efficient. They respond very quickly to grid fluctuations and are ideal for grid-support. In addition, they are based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP). LFP batteries are more durable, contain fewer problematic materials, and are less prone to overheating.
Our projects are usually connected to the medium- and high-voltage grids through nearby substations. This setup allows for efficient grid integration with minimal technical effort.
The development process typically takes 20-24 months from initial planning to commissioning.
The risk of fire is practically nonexistent. Our systems meet the highest safety standards and are equipped with state-of-the-art fire protection and explosion prevention systems, as well as monitoring systems. We also collaborate closely with local fire departments and authorities to develop thorough fire safety plans. Qualified professionals regularly perform maintenance to ensure ongoing operational safety.
The environmental impact is minimal. We keep land use and soil disturbance to a minimum, and we work closely with local environmental authorities throughout the project. All materials are professionally recycled and reused at the end of the system’s service life. Additionally, using LFP battery technology reduces the need for hazardous substances, which further minimizes environmental risks.
Our battery storage systems are unobtrusive and designed to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. Through compensatory measures and the full integration of greenery around the site, the visual impact on the landscape is minimized.
The system is delivered in modular containers and installed on pre-prepared foundations on site. Construction typically takes a few months.
Once the operating period ends, the battery system is dismantled, and all materials are recycled. Upon request, the site can be restored to its original condition or repurposed for new projects. To ensure this, financial reserves are set aside from the beginning.
