4 FAQs about German outdoor energy storage power supply procurement

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?

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.

Can Germany use solar energy?

During sunny and windy phases, wind and solar park operators have to throttle or even shut down their systems repeatedly to avoid overloading the power grids.

Will Germany tender a further 5GW of gas-fired power plants?

For the second and final tranche, the government will competitively tender a further 5GW of capacity from gas-fired power plants. BMWK noted that this set of procurements comes ahead of the introduction of Germany’s new capacity market mechanism, planned to start in 2028.
