German Battery Storage on a Ri... 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 on the other hand have led to a highly attractive market environment for battery storage (BESS) projects in Germany.
In November 2023, the developer Kyon Energy received approval to build a new large-scale battery storage project in the town of Alfeld in Lower Saxony, Germany. At the same time, German regulators extended the grid-fee exemptions for new BESS systems by three years to 2029, further incentivizing developers to build out BESS in the country.
Remarkably, this share surged to 77% in 2023, indicating a significant upward trajectory of the trend toward combining PV residential rooftop systems with battery storage in Germany. To date, most battery storage systems in the German electricity system have been used exclusively to optimize self-consumption.
In the coming years, numerous large battery projects will be commissioned in key European countries. The United Kingdom has the largest pipeline, followed by Italy, Germany, and Spain. Germany will likely add many more projects in the coming months, as the federal government increasingly focuses on storage solutions.
Sustained growth is forecasted in the market for new PV capacity for years to come. Concurrently, battery systems are expected to reach a capacity of at least 100 GWh by 2030, reflecting a transformative shift within the German energy system towards renewable energy integration.
Germany will likely add many more projects in the coming months, as the federal government increasingly focuses on storage solutions. In December 2023, the Federal Ministry for Economic Afairs and Climate Action (BMWK) published its “Power Storage Strategy” to accelerate the development of new capacities.
