ADS-TEC Energy Strengthens Market Position in Battery Storage Sector in Austria

Key Terms

agrivoltaics technical

Agrivoltaics is the practice of combining solar panels with crop or livestock production on the same land, so the site produces both electricity and food or fiber. For investors it matters because it can increase the revenue potential of a parcel, spread risk between agricultural and energy yields, and change capital and operating costs — think of it as putting a shaded rooftop over a field that lets two businesses share the same plot.

island mode operations technical

Island mode operations occur when a power system, site, or microgrid disconnects from the wider electrical grid and runs on its own local generation, storage, and control systems—like a neighborhood switching from city power to its own backup generators and batteries. Investors care because islanding changes revenue and cost profiles, affects service reliability and regulatory obligations, and can make related assets more valuable by enabling continued operation during wider outages or grid instability.

blackout preparedness technical

Blackout preparedness is the set of steps a company takes to get ready for a blackout period when insiders are restricted from trading stock and certain public disclosures are limited. Like locking the doors and putting up a sign before a short closure, it involves clear rules, communication, record-keeping and technical controls to prevent accidental leaks or illegal trades; investors care because lapses can trigger fines, insider-trading scandals and sudden share-price swings.

cyber security technical

Cyber security is the set of tools, practices and controls used to protect computers, networks and digital data from theft, damage or unauthorized access. For investors, cyber security matters because strong protection lowers the chance of costly data breaches, operational shutdowns, regulatory fines and reputation loss that can quickly erode revenue and stock value; weak protection is like a company leaving its digital doors unlocked and its alarm off.

• One year in, ADS-TEC Energy Austria has won battery storage projects with municipal utilities, energy providers and industrial customers
• Reference project in Carinthia is now live and trading in energy markets
• End-to-end approach ensures business viability, resilience, and integration with markets

NÜRTINGEN, Germany & KÄRNTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ADS-TEC Energy PLC (NASDAQ: ADSE) today marked the successful completion of its first year in the Austrian market including an expanded presence in the Austrian energy market. In 12 months, ADS-TEC Energy has secured battery energy storage wins across public utilities, energy providers and industrial customers. One system is already live, while further projects are underway and scheduled to go live by mid-2026.

“Austria has been committed to renewable energy for many years, and battery storage is the key enabling technology to ensure that these systems operate reliably and economically. Storage makes renewable generation predictable, resilient, and economically viable,” said Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy.

A central reference project was implemented in partnership with the Austrian energy company, AAE, in Kärnten. At the heart of the installation is an ADS-TEC Energy BESS5000 large-scale battery system at an agrivoltaics (agriPV) site and fully integrated with a regional energy system that combines photovoltaic, wind, and hydropower generation.

The storage system has evolved from a pure infrastructure asset into an active market opportunity. It is allowing AAE to participate in energy trading. And, as well as delivering new revenue streams, the battery system provides grid backup and helps optimize AAE’s energy system.

“Today, our customers expect more than a product. They are looking for a partner who combines technology, system expertise and operational experience. This is exactly where our strength lies: we deliver integrated solutions including hardware, software and services that perform in the field and create long-term value,” said Roland Klauss, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy Austria.

ADS-TEC Energy offers a comprehensive solution for battery energy storage projects and supports customers across the entire value chain, from project development and system design through commissioning and market integration. A key component is an economic assessment of each project based on a holistic view of energy markets. ADS-TEC Energy develops robust business cases and supports customers to optimize revenues and return on investment.

Furthermore, resilience and supply security have become decisive factors for many customers. Depending on the configuration and system integration, large-scale battery systems can fulfill multiple security roles: providing emergency power for critical loads, supporting island mode operations during grid outages, and contributing to blackout preparedness, for example through system stabilization and controlled restart capabilities with energy generation assets. ADS-TEC Energy also meets the growing requirements for cyber security, leveraging its established expertise in industrial IT systems. These system-level capabilities were a decisive factor for several customers when selecting ADS-TEC Energy as their partner.

As part of the global ADS-TEC Energy Group, ADS-TEC Energy Austria serves as the central point of contact for battery storage projects in Austria and supports selected neighboring markets in Southeastern Europe. Its proximity to customers, grid operators and project partners allows the company to address national regulatory frameworks and market specifics efficiently and effectively.
