With the new electrostatic extraction lines from ELENA to the experiments replacing the old magnetic extraction lines from the AD to the experiment, up to four experiments can be served simultaneously in each cycle with 100 keV antiprotons as compared to 5.3 MeV before LS2. The much lower extraction energy make it possible for the experiments to increase the number of trapped, and hence usable, antiprotons with up to two orders of magnitude. We present the current state of the facility as well as the consolidation and upgrades already made during LS2 or planned for the next few years. ER -
