Residential ESS Continues to Lead in Germany's Energy Storage Landscape Residential energy storage systems (ESS) maintained their stronghold as the most prevalent installation type in Europe throughout 2023. According to TrendForce data, Germany's energy storage sector predominantly saw the adoption of residential storage solutions.
Therefore the business model for a German energy storage system is slightly different to business models in other markets. The key business models in Germany comprise: Improvement of reliability of electricity supply for industrial production.
While the demand for energy storage is growing across Europe, Germany remains the European lead target market and the first choice for companies seeking to enter this fast-developing industry. The country stands out as a unique market, development platform and export hub.
Germany boasts a dense landscape of world-leading research institutes and universities active in the energy storage sector. They work closely together with industry to bring innovations to the market. The federal government supports research and development in the energy storage, hydrogen, fuel cell, and electric vehicle sectors.
Most storage systems in Germany are currently used together with residential PV plants to increase self-consumption and reduce costs. Inexpensive storage systems can be built using Second-Life-Batteries (Bundesnetzagentur für Elektrizität, Gas, Telekommunikation, Post und Eisenbahnen, 2020).
7 Jump-start the expansion of large-scale storage in optimal locations. Considering the extent of variable renewables generation in Germany’s electricity system, which already exceeded 60% in 2024 and is planned to be 80% in 2030, the country has relatively low levels of large-scale electricity storage (1.7 GW with 2.2 GWh in January 2025).
