The Waldshut region is a great place to live, shaped by nature, community and a high quality of life. To keep it that way, a secure, future-proof energy supply is needed.
The site was carefully selected – based on, among other things:
The Kühmoos substation is an important site for the stability of the cross-regional power grid – and thus also for local supply security here on site.
We are planning to build a battery storage facility in Rickenbach to permanently secure the region's energy supply.
As the expansion of renewable energies continues to grow, the need for reliable storage solutions is becoming ever greater. Because on some days the sun shines intensely, on others there is particularly strong wind. At times it even happens that wind turbines have to be switched off because too much electricity is being produced and it cannot be fully fed into the grid. A surplus arises.
Battery storage systems absorb this excess electricity and feed it back into the power grid when needed.
This keeps your power grid reliable at all times, your region permanently and securely supplied – and supports the geopolitical independence of the German power grid.
When operating the battery storage facility, safety, environmental compatibility and compliance with all legal requirements are the top priority.

Environmental aspects

During the construction phase of a battery storage facility, certain temporary impacts on residents cannot be completely avoided – at the same time, operations afterwards are barely noticeable.
During the construction phase there may be:
After completion:
The goal is to keep disruptions as minimal as possible.

A battery storage facility brings a wide range of benefits to the region – from economic stimulus to a stronger energy infrastructure, greater security of supply and a sustainable future.
Economic stimulus
Contribution to the energy transition
Above all, it helps to secure the region's energy supply in the long term – for households, businesses and future generations.


Return J&P GmbH develops and operates battery storage systems – making a concrete contribution to the energy transition. As part of the Return Group, we are one of the leading independent providers of energy storage solutions in Europe.
Our goal is clear: to make renewable energies more usable while at the same time strengthening security of supply – especially for local communities.
We bring more than 40 years of experience in project development and implementation. This experience helps us not only with technical matters, but above all in dealing responsibly with regions and their people.
It is important to us to develop a project together with the local community that is implemented safely, transparently and sustainably. Because energy projects are a matter of trust. That is why we rely on open dialogue, clear information and dedicated contact persons who are available at any time for questions.
