Battery storage

Grid optimisation: Battery storage systems enable a much more flexible and balanced electricity system - both technically and economically. Price stability: Battery storage systems reduce the volatility of the electricity market and harmonise supply and demand. Energy storage systems are useful for the grid and make perfect economic sense.

Energy storage in Germany – what you should know

Energy storage systems benefit from the connection privilege for RES plants to the public grid. Electricity stored in a storage system qualifies for the feed-in premium (Marktprämie), which is granted to the plant operator under the Renewables Act 2017 (EEG 2017) once the electricity is fed into the public grid.A specific provision of the EEG 2017 ensures that the EEG surcharge is
