In the future, Westfalen Weser wants to use surplus wind energy to generate green hydrogen to power industry and hydrogen filling stations. The municipal energy service provider plans to build a 10 MW electrolyzer in the energy city of Lichtenau together with Stadtwerke Lichtenau GmbH. In addition, grid-friendly storage will be tested in order to gradually reduce the local wind turbines.
