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).
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.
German consumers face among the highest electricity prices in Europe. Already, the government has taken a significant and welcome step toward alleviating prices by removing the EEG surcharge. Energy-intensive industrial consumers also receive various forms of relief and compensation for electricity prices.
