Battery storage for Germany’s energy transition: Unlocking untapped potential Germany's energy transition is making significant progress: In the first half of 2024, the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix rose to 57 %. This new influx of renewable energy is pushing the power grid to its limits. Battery energy storage systems and an optimized redispatch procedure could play a key role in improving the integration of renewables and alleviating grid congestion. However, some hurdles still need to be overcome, according to Benedikt Deuchert of Kyon Energy.

Battery storage on a capacity market In Germany – but not only there – there is a heated debate about the pros and cons of a capacity market. The German Renewable Energy Association is against it, and recently the German New Energy Industry Association, the DIHK and the EEX energy exchange have also taken a clear stance: Germany does not need a “power plant subsidy program.” In this article, four experts explain why battery storage can also play an important role in a capacity market and make recommendations on how the design of the market can help avoid mismanagement, wrong incentives and unnecessary costs.
