Deutschland BMC Energy Storage

Frontier Economics said it expects the growth of energy storage in Germany to mirror the success of solar, and it and BMWK both pointed out that unlike the early days of the solar boom, storage systems are being deployed

Does Germany need energy storage systems?

While around 254 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity were generated from renewable energy in Germany in 2022, 600 TWh of electricity are expected to come from renewable sources by 2030. Germany is particularly dependent on a market ramp-up of energy storage systems, especially battery storage systems. What role do energy storage systems play?

Is bmwk a viable energy storage system?

The BMWK currently sees a high demand for energy storage systems and no foreseeable (new) obstacles to their economic viability.

What is Germany's energy strategy?

The strategy provides a valuable insight into the Federal Government’s future framework for the operation of electricity storage systems and the issues that remain open. Germany’s electricity supply is to be practically climate-neutral by 2035.

Should energy storage systems be included in Germany's power plant strategy?

The power plant strategy for hydrogen-capable power plants recently presented by the German government also emphasises that storage systems should be included. Exemption from grid charges The BMWK's comments express sympathy for the continuation of the current grid fee exemptions for energy storage systems.

What is bmwk's electricity storage strategy?

The BMWK’s electricity storage strategy clearly demonstrates the importance it attaches to electricity storage technology for the future and also that it recognises the key issues and problem areas. However, although it focusses on the correct topics and outlines initial approaches, it currently offers only few specific measures.

What is the energy storage strategy?

The strategy paper provides an overview of the measures and challenges involved in establishing energy storage systems. The energy storage strategy aims to promote the expansion and integration of energy storage systems and thus support the energy transition. By 2035, the energy sector in Germany should be largely free of greenhouse gas emissions.
