Held alongside the Battery Show Expo Europe in Stuttgart, Energy Storage Germany spotlights Germany''s rapid ascent in the European storage sector. Once driven by residential demand, utility-scale projects are now surging, with 184 MW added across 44 projects in 2023. With nearly 16 GWh of capacity installed in the first half of 2024, Germany is set to integrate 24 GW of utility-scale energy storage by 2037, creating substantial opportunities
The Summit will explore the current regulatory landscape in Germany, incentives from the proposed 2028 capacity market, trading best-practice, understanding merchant revenue opportunities, project development challenges and will even explore Germany''s unique opportunities in decentralized flexible assets. Meet Germany''s leading developers and IPPs, investors, policymakers, TSOs, manufacturers, optimisers, traders and consultants, who are all paving the way for energy storage deployment in the country.
Born from the Energy Storage Summit series, with a portfolio of ten events dedicated solely to energy storage deployment, this is an event where we can guarantee meetings with key stakeholders in the German energy storage sector.

The first of its kind, this study offers an overview of the photovoltaics and battery storage market in Germany. It provides the latest statistics on the PV market and battery storage systems, along with an examination of current funding mechanisms in Germany. From market outlook to anticipated growth in the PV market and the evolving role of battery systems, this study outlines both present state and future prospects. Commissioned by the German Solar Association (BSW-Solar), supported by Intersolar Europe 2024 and conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, it represents a significant contribution to understanding the dynamics of Germany''s renewable energy landscape.
Furthermore, market trends point to continuing robust growth across all market segments, from residential systems to industrial applications and ground-mounted solar parks, driven by increasing demand for affordable, green electricity, the population''s desire for greater energy independence, robust remuneration schemes, regulatory support for PV and battery storage systems, as well as substantial market opportunities for investors and installers. By 2030, further trends are expected to accelerate as Germany ramps up its efforts to meet its ambitious climate targets.

Germany''s latest innovation auction has awarded contracts to 32 solar-plus-storage projects with a cumulative capacity of 408MW.
The German Federal Network Agency, the Bundesnetzagentur, announced the results of its latest innovation tender which ended up being oversubscribed with a total of 53 bids and 779MW of capacity received, nearly double the 400MW limit set for the auction.
This is the second innovative auction held this year in Germany with the previous one ending with a completely different fate as only three projects ended up accepted with a combined capacity of 83.5MW, despite 400MW of capacity auctioned.
“Following two weak auctions, the innovation auctions have regained momentum. The fact that this auction was nearly twice oversubscribed shows what kind of a dynamic renewables can have. The aim now is to maintain the current level of project development,” said Klaus Müller, president of the Bundesnetzagentur.
Prices for the successful bids range from €0.0776/kWh to €0.0878 ct/kWh with an average price of €0.0833/kWh (US$8.75ct/kWh). Both the average price and the maximum value ended up above the previously held solar farm auction in July.
Bavaria ended up with more than half of the capacity awarded – with 258MW and 19 winning bids – among all the regions, while 175MW of capacity, across 21 projects, are planned on 500-metre-long shoulder strips of motorways and railway lines.
Launched in 2020, the innovation tender seeks to combine several renewable resources, however as shown in the latest auction all bids submitted have been for the combination of solar PV with energy storage.
Earlier rounds held in 2021 showed similar results with only solar PV and energy storage projects awarded, as covered by our sister site Energy-storage.news.
Moreover, in order to raise interest in its renewable tenders, the Bundesnetzagentur increased the price cap at the beginning of the year for several auctions, including ground-mounted – with an increase from €0.059/kWh (US$0.064) in 2022 to €0.0735/kWh (US$0.08) – and rooftop solar to €0.1125/kWh (US$0.12).
Since the beginning of this year, Germany has accelerated its push towards renewables, not just at the downstream level with dedicated tenders but also on the upstream front as it launched an expression of interest call – in June 2023 – for 10GW of solar manufacturing capacity across the entire value chain and with at least 2GW of capacity for modules alone.
This in itself has spurred interest from several companies, including a German consortium that intends to invest €2 billion in vertically integrated PV manufacturing within 24 months and three locations or US cadmium telluride thin-film module manufacturer First Solar, among others.
The next innovation auction is scheduled for 1 May 2024 (the date when the bid process will be closed).

The German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has awarded 587MW of solar-plus-storage in its latest innovation tender.
As has been the case in many of Germany''s recent solar PV auctions, the innovation tender ended up oversubscribed, with 154 bids made for 1.8GW of capacity out of 583MW tendered capacity. Both capacity bid for and awarded were higher than the previous innovation auction held in July 2024, which awarded 512MW of capacity for solar-plus-storage projects. For the first time, wind projects combined with energy storage received bids, but none were successful, with only solar-plus-storage bids awarded capacity.
The prices for successful bids ranged between €0.0674/kWh (US$0.073/kWh) and €0.0745/kWh (US$0.0745/kWh) and the average volume-weighted price was €0.0709/kWh, which ended much lower than the price ceiling of €0.0918/kWh and the previous innovation auction''s average of €0.0833/kWh.
“The significant oversubscription in the innovation auction follows on from the trend set in the auctions for ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems. The high level of participation gives rise to the hope that growth in the field of installation combinations will also strengthen and stabilise,” said Klaus Müller, president of the Bundesnetzagentur.
In terms of federal states, Bavaria has been awarded the largest volume with 25 projects and a combined 227MW of capacity. It is followed by Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, with seven projects and 115MW of capacity, and Rhineland-Palatinate, with three projects and 57MW of capacity.
