Fossil production
Large thermal plants produced baseload power from fuel. Reliable, but carbon-intensive and inflexible.
- Asset
- Coal, gas and nuclear plants
- Revenue model
- Wholesale market and long-term PPAs
Europe's Next-Generation IPP
Other people talk. We act.
Every year, wind and solar farms are switched off because the grid cannot absorb what they produce. We build grid-scale battery storage that keeps that power instead of losing it. Germany is our starting market. Europe is the scaling plan.
2.4 GW
Development pipeline across acquisitions, framework partnerships and proprietary projects
70 MW
In realization today: Lauta (40 MW, Saxony) and Plettenberg (30 MW, North Rhine-Westphalia)
960 MW
Proprietary development portfolio: six advanced projects, 2.27 GWh of storage capacity
>1 GW
Targeted in operation by the end of 2029. That is the plan and we publish our progress.
The Generational Shift
Generation one burned fuel. Generation two harvested weather. Generation three stores the difference.
Every generation of independent power producers was defined by the asset it owned: first the power plant, then the wind farm. Acton is building the third, an IPP whose asset is flexibility itself.
Renewable production
Solar and wind produce zero-marginal-cost electricity, but only when the sun shines or the wind blows.
- Asset
- Solar PV, onshore and offshore wind
- Revenue model
- Subsidies, fixed PPAs, merchant tail
Flexibility production
Grid-scale storage plus intelligent trading produces value from volatility, around the clock. This is where Acton operates.
- Asset
- Grid-scale battery storage portfolio
- Revenue model
- Merchant trading, grid services, optimization
Portfolio
Eight sites. One grid. One continent.
From the Emsland to Lusatia: two projects in realization, six proprietary developments. Every project is listed with its data, because substance beats slogans. Poland and Italy are on the map as our next markets.
Batteries respond to the grid in fractions of a second. We build them where they are needed most.
Why storage, why now
9.4 TWh
of renewable electricity was curtailed in Germany in 2024. Wind farms switched off, solar disconnected: energy produced and thrown away. Storage turns that loss into supply.

The case is systemic and it is quantified.
Shifted at scale, surplus replaces gas. If all eight of our projects are built and each shifts one full cycle a day, the arithmetic gives around 330,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. That is a model result, not a target. The method and its source are on our Impact page.
