By Lars Stephan, Senior Manager - Policy and Market Development, and Niklaas Heckmann, Senior Sales Manager, Fluence Germany''s innovation tender is at a crossroads. While solar auctions are
Recent reforms to allow storage to participate in frequency response and services markets bolster the market case for investments as will other efforts such as the grid booster initiative, innovation tenders and using
In the Federal Solar PV Strategy (May 2023, Section 4 EEG), the national expansion target was set at 215 GWp of installed capacity in 2030 and a PV share of 30 per cent of total electricity production.
The scheme has an outlay of Rs18,100 crores (~US$2.4 billion). As with renewable energy (solar/wind) development in India, grid-scale tendering will be crucial for developing the ESS
Energy storage technologies can provide a range of services to help integrate solar and wind, from storing electricity for use in evenings, to providing grid-stability services.
Smart tender design, allowing storage systems to charge electricity from the grid and earn additional revenue from wholesale market participation, will improve project economics and has the potential to reduce
Germany''s total installed solar power capacity exceeded the 100 GW mark at the end of 2024, approaching nearly half of the 215 GW goal set for 2030, the German Solar Industry Association (BSW Solar) said on Monday.
This is driven partly by the introduction of so-called ''Innovation Tenders'' by the regulatory Bundesnetzagentur, which award contracts to projects that combine two forms of clean energy technology. This has led to a growth in
The final tariffs ranged from €0.077/kWh to €0.0878/kWh, with an average price of €0.0833/kWh. Through these tenders, the Bundesnetzagentur selects PV or wind projects combined with energy storage systems.
Latest analysis from SolarPower Europe reveals that, in 2023, Europe installed 17.2 GWh of new battery energy storage systems (BESS); a 94% increase compared to 2022.
Energy stock market In Germany, the so called electricity market 2.0 was initialized in 2017 by the lawmakers with the goal of enhancing fair competition in the electricity market. The undertaking
High and further increasing volatility of power prices due to the expansion of renewables on the one hand and significantly decreasing prices for battery cells in recent years
Here, we conduct a review of grid-scale energy storage technologies, their technical specifications, current costs and cost projections, supply chain availability, scalability potential,
Our latest analysis reveals the sweet spots in technology investment, decodes the shifting auction landscape, and explains how the planned capacity market could create new revenue streams for storage

Dutch Transmission Service Operator (TSO) TenneT has projected that The Netherlands will need to have at least 9 GW of large-scale battery energy storage system
The "Report on Optimal Generation Capacity Mix for 2029-30" by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA 2023) highlight the importance of energy storage systems as part of
Germany''s Energiewende Strategy has driven exponential growth in renewable energy capacity, especially wind and solar, with plans to double onshore wind capacity to 115 GW, expand offshore wind to 30 GW, and
To date, it has seen only bids for solar PV and battery projects, but for the first time in the latest round, wind projects combined with energy storage received bids. However, none were successful, with only solar-plus
The German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has awarded 587MW of solar-plus-storage in its latest Innovation Tender.
The synergy between solar energy and battery storage optimises efficiency and mitigates grid imbalances caused by solar power injection. In Germany, where commercial curtailment during negative pricing is
In the Germany''s Solar Energy Storage and Inverter market, a nuanced division emerges when we explore the realm of Energy Storage. This segment, a cornerstone of the market''s vitality, unfurls into various categories,
Find out how Germany is investing in large solar projects to help achieve its 2030 target of generating 80% of its electricity from renewable sources.
Germany registered strong demand in its latest tenders for solar energy projects. Total bids for large-scale open area arrays added up to a capacity of 1,130 megawatts (MW),
To date, most battery storage systems in the German electricity system have been used exclusively to optimize self-consumption. Consequently, an exponentially growing number of homeowners and companies store solar power for times when solar generation is low.
Today, energy storage systems contracted under the innovation tenders can only store electricity generated by the co-located renewable generation assets and cannot charge from the main grid. BNetzA has put this rule in place to avoid blending green electricity with fossil-based power, limiting the greenwashing of grey electricity.
Research carried out by The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) showed that average costs for a hybrid power generation plant to be taken into operation in 2025 were 10.40 ct/kWh, well above the adapted tariff. The revenue opportunities for storage are there.
