grid tied storage system project financing options in Germany 2026

What is Energy Storage Summit Germany ?

With billions in infrastructure investment, strong merchant-led dynamics, and a government targeting 80% renewables by , the country is driving forward grid-scale storage. Energy Storage Summit Germany connects you with the policymakers, traders, financiers, and developers shaping this growth. Meet the right people, in the right setting.

Can electricity storage systems be funded under the EEG?

Up to now, it has not been possible to receive funding under the EEG for electricity from electricity storage systems that are connected to the grid. As the electricity is stored from the grid, the storage volume includes a proportion of electricity from non-renewable energy sources.

Can energy storage be used for grid relief and load shifting?

By comparison, 251 TWh was generated from renewable energies in . In order to be able to use the electricity at times when consumption exceeds production, a rapid expansion of systems for storing electrical energy is required. The paper sees electricity storage primarily as short-term storage for grid relief and load shifting.

How can electricity storage systems contribute to a climate-neutral electricity supply in ?

The aim of the strategy is to contribute to a “virtually climate-neutral” electricity supply in . Due to the volatility of renewable energies, electricity storage systems play an important role in stabilising and flexibilising the electricity grid.

Is the electricity storage strategy a good idea?

The electricity storage strategy has been criticised by the industry for its lack of concrete targets and timetables. There are good ideas, but they are not supported by direct measures. Furthermore, electricity storage systems should continue to be legally categorised as systems for the generation and consumption of electricity.
