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?
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, responsible for energy policy in Germany on the federal level, supports the development of electricity storage facilities. Under the Energy Storage Funding Initiative launched in 2012, funding for the development of energy storage systems has been provided to around 250 projects.
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.
There is no separate legislation on electricity storage facilities in Germany. German law regards electricity storage facilities as consumers of electricity.
They still make up the largest share of the electricity storage capacity in Germany; about 30 projects commissioned between 1926 and 2004 provide a total capacity of about 7 GW. The majority are operated by utilities and they principally provide time-shifted electricity supply and balancing energy.
In Germany, in most cases, neither environmental nor energy industry permits are required for battery storage system alone, though it must comply with the regulation on electromagnetic fields (26. BImSchV). Battery storage systems must be registered in the market master database (Marktstammdatenregister).
