Against this background, the aim of this report is to shed light on the evolution of the energy storage markets in Germany and present market mechanisms, policies and business models
In Pape et al., the estimations are in line with the results in this model for the mid-term (2035) energy storage expansion in Germany: 0 to 20 GW of additional storage capacity, depending on the degree of flexibility of new
Energy storage systems are an integral part of Germany''s Energiewende("Energy Transition") project. The National Electromobility Development Plan has set a target of one million fully
In Germany, renewable energy accounted for some 17 percent of primary energy consumption in 2022. Total renewable energy use was 489 TWh, of which a little over half came in the form of

In Germany, renewable energy accounted for some 17 percent of primary energy consumption in 2022. Total renewable energy use was 489 TWh, of which a little over half came in the form of electricity, some 40 percent in renewable heating
On 8 December 2023, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) published the electricity storage strategy. The aim of the strategy is to contribute to a "virtually climate-neutral" electricity
Recent analysis from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy (Fraunhofer ISE) installed base of battery storage close to doubled last year, going from 4.4GW/6.5GWh of cumulative installs by the end of 2022 to
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
MITEI''s three-year Future of Energy Storage study explored the role that energy storage can play in fighting climate change and in the global adoption of clean energy grids. Replacing fossil
Current power systems are still highly reliant on dispatchable fossil fuels to meet variable electrical demand. As fossil fuel generation is progressively replaced with
Germany is under increasing pressure to rapidly decarbonize its electricity system, while ensuring a secure and affordable electricity supply. In this context, energy storage systems (ESSs) can play a crucial role in enabling a high share of variable renewable electricity generation.
In addition to the complexity of transforming the German electricity system, climate-related targets and policies have been tightened substantially. The newest amendment of the Renewable Energy Sources law requires renewable energy sources to cover at least 80% of the annual electricity consumption in 2030.
Due to its central location in Europe, Germany is highly interconnected to its neighbors, importing and exporting electricity from eleven other countries. The German electricity system is undergoing a profound change from a formerly coal and nuclear power dominated country to one depending solely on renewable energies.
The study by Keles and Yilmaz , for instance, considers only the option of pumped hydro storage (PHS), as it is already a key component of the German electricity system. Others consider multiple technology options, with Bartholdsen et al. , for instance, considering also lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen storage (via power-to-gas).
Similar to other studies discussing the German electricity system transition, such as Bartholdsen et al. and Maeder et al. , most electricity will be produced by solar and onshore wind, however, the generation mix varies significantly between the federal states, pertaining to the geographical conditions present in each state.
A traditional electricity system doesn’t require much storage, because power generation can be adjusted to match demand. This changes dramatically as the system uses more renewable energy, because power generation from wind turbines and solar PV systems depends on the weather. This is where storage comes into play.
