Site battery storage in continental Europe
There is no single European answer. The electrical arrangement is broadly common, but who can supply, deliver, commission and support a system is settled one country at a time. Tell us the country and we will tell you where the project stands.
Enquiries welcome; supply is assessed country by country and confirmed for each project.
Name the country first
“Europe” is not a supply territory. For a battery system weighing several tonnes, each country raises its own questions:
- Who can supply there. The supplying partner and the contracting party can differ from one country to the next.
- Documents and language. The conformity documents, manuals and site paperwork that local bodies expect, and the language they expect them in.
- Connection rules. What the local network operator requires when a battery is connected alongside a grid supply.
- Commissioning and service. Who commissions the unit on site and who attends if something goes wrong.
Until those are answered for a specific country, we do not describe it as covered. That is why a brief from continental Europe should start with the country, the nearest city and the name of the network operator if a grid connection is involved.
Electrical fit, in principle
Most continental sites distribute at 400 V three-phase, 50 Hz. The published data for the two systems in our current range covers the IEC variant, rated for 380 to 415 V, three-phase with neutral and earth, so the common arrangement is inside the documented range.
“In principle” is deliberate. Earthing systems and the way temporary site supplies are built differ between countries, and so do the protective devices in use. The connection is checked for the site in the technical review, with a competent local electrical specialist responsible for the installation.

What is not in place yet
It is better to be clear about this than to imply otherwise.
- This site is in English only. We do not yet publish local-language pages and would rather say so than offer translated technical content that no engineer has reviewed.
- We do not publish a list of countries served. Coverage is established project by project and stated in the proposal.
- Regulatory notes on this site are written from a UK and Irish starting point. For other countries they are prompts for the review, not a statement of local requirements.
Moving a unit across borders
The maximum wet weight is 5,500 kg for the Ampd 200 and 9,000 kg for the Ampd 400, with dimensions of 2.40 × 2.15 × 2.20 m and 3.0 × 2.3 × 2.4 m respectively. Cross-border delivery of a lithium battery system of that size is a planned movement. The manufacturer’s brochures list UN 38.3 transport testing for road and sea; the transport documents for the exact configuration, the route and the cost are worked out for the project and set out in the proposal.
What to send
- Country, nearest city and site address or postcode
- What needs power: crane, hoist, general site supply or a constrained connection
- The supply on site today: connection capacity and network operator, generator rating, or neither
- Site voltage and earthing arrangement, if known
- The language your site team and approving bodies need
- Start date, duration and whether you expect to hire or buy
Unknowns are acceptable. Get a site power proposal; the first reply addresses whether a supply route can be arranged for your country, before any system is discussed.

Questions buyers ask
Do you supply site battery storage across the whole of Europe?
We do not claim blanket European coverage. Supply, delivery, commissioning and service are assessed country by country and confirmed for each project. Send a brief naming the country and the site location, and you will be told plainly whether a suitable supply route can be arranged.
Do the published specifications suit a European site supply?
In principle. The reference data covers an IEC variant rated for 380 to 415 V three-phase with neutral and earth, and most continental sites distribute at 400 V three-phase, 50 Hz. Earthing systems and site distribution practice differ between countries, so the connection is checked for each site in the technical review.
Is project documentation available in languages other than English?
This site is published in English only, and we do not yet offer local-language pages. The language of proposals and of the technical documents required for a particular country is confirmed for each project. Say in your brief which language your site team and approving bodies need.
