Public research and development incentives for EV and stationary battery research amount to between EUR 80 million and EUR 85 million every year. As the European lead market in the energy transition age, Germany provides the opportunity for companies to develop, test, define and market new energy storage solutions.
Increasing the share of renewables poses new challenges: Excess energy produced during off-peak hours needs to be stored and made available when needed. Since energy storage systems (ESS) can balance supply and demand, they are an essential part of Germany’s energy transition. In line with this, the market for ESS is constantly growing.
As the energy crisis continues to dominate markets and the German government responds with comprehensive gas and electricity subsidies, gauging households' true electricity costs is a challenge that can only yield tentative results.
Moreover, prices for CO2 emissions allowances in the European trading system (ETS) more than tripled between 2020 and 2022, putting further pressure on electricity costs. Households in Germany on average paid 40.07 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) in the second half of 2022, compared to 32.16 ct/kWh in the previous year.
In 2021, before the onset of the energy crisis, German households paid just over 9 percent of their average monthly income for energy (including petrol and gas), on par with consumers in neighbouring France and the Netherlands. In contrast, Bulgarian households spend more than 25 percent on electricity, gas and petrol.
The energy transition's impact on household electricity prices is a contentious issue in Germany, because surcharges to finance the renewables' rollout resulted in Europe's highest bills for many years.
