The aim of the EnergiespeicherPLUS programme is to drive forward the expansion of photovoltaics in Berlin and to increase the share of renewable energies in electricity consumption, even in times of low sun and low wind. This benefits climate protection, as CO 2 -emissions can be avoided. The Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme provides subsidies for the investment costs of electricity storage systems if a photovoltaic system is installed at the same time. TheIBB Business Team GmbH implements the program. Since 1 January 2020, an electronic application for funding can now be submitted quickly and easily to the IBB Business Team GmbH under be put.
Energy Senator Ramona PopEvery Berliner can make a contribution to the energy transition in our capital city. We support this with our Energy Storage PLUS funding programme. I am pleased about the great interest. Since October, over 200 preliminary applications have already been submitted. Every new photovoltaic system helps us get one step closer to our goal of becoming climate neutral."
We subsidise the purchase and commissioning of solar energy storage systems of up to 15,000 euros. If the storage system has a forecast-based operating strategy, a bonus of 300 euros is added. The prerequisite for a subsidy is that a photovoltaic system is purchased and commissioned at the same time as the storage system. The subsidy can be combined with other funding, e.g. from the Funding programme for business-oriented electromobility or from the green roof funding programme, can be combined. All owners of buildings in Berlin can apply for the funding.3.1.2020 | Source: Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Operations

"Why do the same dreary apartment blocks have to be built everywhere?" asks F.A.Z. economics writer Nadine Oberhuber in Your post from 26.04.2017. She thinks "unambitious" is still the most harmless word of the viewers for the block architecture". As the main cause she quotes her F.A.Z. colleague and architecture critic Niklas Maak who observes a "radical economization of building", similar to the Bundesstiftung Baukultur.
Even the sustainable settlements cannot escape this pressure for returns and are becoming increasingly unimaginative, as I have unfortunately noticed in my observations over the last 20 years. "It''s not pretty", as Gerhard Matzig puts it in his Contribution from 16.4. using the example of Munich''s housing construction.

Unanimously, on March 21, 2019, members of Berlin''s state parliament voted in favor of promoting urban timber construction.
Following in the footsteps of Baden-Württemberg, the state of Berlin has now also decided to focus on wooden buildings in the future with its application "Sustainability in construction: Berlin builds with wood". As part of the Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme (BEK), wood as a building material is to be used to a much greater extent from now on and, as a carbon dioxide reservoir, is to make a contribution to climate protection and resource efficiency.
As the largest builder in the city-state, the Berlin Senate is to lead the way in the future and increasingly use wood in state buildings such as schools, kindergartens and residential buildings. In addition, subsidy programs such as those in Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg and Munich should create incentives for private builders. A timber construction cluster is to develop and bundle competencies along the value chain in the long term.
Since April 2018, an amendment to Berlin''s state building code has facilitated timber construction for private and public buildings. Load-bearing components of multi-storey buildings can now be made of the natural material without the need for a time-consuming case-by-case assessment.
For new buildings and complete modernisation projects, Berlin will in future apply the Sustainable Building Rating System (NBB) with its defined, transparent standards for sustainability.

At present BTM residential is the key application scenario for energy storage in Germany, backed by a series of government policies. In March 2022, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action issued its “Easter Package”, which made a series of amendments to Energy Laws and set medium and long-term targets for renewable energy development, including 80% of Germany’s power supply to be based on renewable energy by 2030.
We roughly divide national energy storage policies into two key categories:First of all, financial support to reduce the cost of energy storage installation, with specific measures outlined below:
1) Tax Reduction. On April 1, 2000, Germany first enacted the Renewable Energy Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, or EEG), which stipulated that the federal government levies an additional tax on electricity bills for the development of renewable energy (the so-called EEG surcharge). This was cancelled in July 2022 in the face of a sharp increase in energy prices in order to ease the pressure on businesses and households. In addition, the 2022 Annual Tax Law exempted value-added tax (VAT) and income tax on power generation income related to residential energy storage systems.
2) Subsidies. In 2013, the German government announced it would provide subsidies for battery storage systems (30% of the total system cost) that were integrated with new distributed solar systems of less than 30KW, and this policy was extended to 2018. At present, financial subsidies remain in place from local governments in accordance with federal government guidance.
3) Low-interest Loans. KfW offers low-interest loans for residents, businesses and public institutions to build, expand and purchase renewable energy systems and energy storage systems, with a maximum of €500,000 available per project, and the latest annual percentage rate (APR) of 4.75% in 2023 (compared to general APR of 5.24% in April 2023).
Secondly, the Innovation Auction promoting energy storage installation and the inclusion of P2G hydrogen energy storage.
In 2020, the German Federal Network Agency launched its Innovation Auction for the first time to incentivize deployments of renewable energy projects (including energy storage), and therefore drive the growth of renewable energy installation in the country. In addition, the seventh amendment to the Renewable Energy Law (EEG2023) added the Innovation Concept Auction of green hydrogen-based power generation and P2G hydrogen energy storage, with project auctions aiming to reach 1,000 MW in 2028, up from 400 MW in 2023.
German state governments encourage energy storage installation primarily through the provision of financial support to residents and business users. According to our preliminary analysis, 10 out of the 16 federal states across the country have introduced financial subsidies for battery storage for rooftop solar photovoltaic systems (solar-plus-storage).
Bavaria state is most active when it comes to policymaking in support of the development of renewable energy and energy storage. On top of project installation subsidies, the Bavarian government also introduced the 10,000 Houses Program, and its EnergieSystemHaus provided incentives for innovative heating/storage systems between 2015 and 2020. In addition, the state government and KfW jointly launched the renewable energy loan “Bayerisches Energiekreditprogramm”, which provides loan subsidies of 25,000 -100,000 euros for commercial companies and freelancers investing in renewable energy projects, including energy storage systems.
The Berlin state government’s funding program “EnergiespeicherPLUS” for solar and energy storage systems ended on August 31, 2022 and it was succeeded by the “SolarPLUS” program from September 1, 2022, with additional subsidies for plug-in solar devices (balcony module).

State policies were welcomed by the market during implementation and many subsidy programs ended ahead of the target period due to their popularity. For example, the government of Lower Saxony received nearly 19,000 applications for its PV-Batteriespeicherförderung program, which ended in September 2021 and comprised 75 million euros in funds for solar and battery storage projects.
