Position paper: Creating planning security for battery storage systems

GESI_Symbolbild_energy-station-1491136_1280

Following the conclusion of the energy transition monitoring, the German government is planning reforms. We have summarized what is important here in a position paper.

The common goal of the storage industry and politicians must now be to establish large-scale batteries as part of the solution for an affordable and sustainable energy transition. To achieve this, a reliable framework for investment must be created. You can find out which new regulations are important for this here:

The world’s fourth-largest economy now has a large-scale battery storage capacity of almost 16 gigawatts. Pullach, 11.07. 2025 | Seven years ago, California was still something of a storage desert: the cumulative large-scale battery capacity amounted to just 0.5 gigawatts in 2018. But since then, the US state, which in itself would be the fourth largest economy in the world, has made rapid progress. According to market analyses, total capacity...

Our co-founder Martin Schoeller is the great-grandson of the electrical pioneer Oskar von Miller, who founded the Deutsches Museum – and was already promoting the idea of affordable electricity for everyone back then. When the Deutsches Museum in Munich opened its doors a hundred years ago in May 1925, it was mainly thanks to one man: the founder Oskar von Miller (1855 to 1934), an electrical pioneer and active promoter...

For a successful energy transition, we need to focus not only on quantitative but also qualitative growth targets – and expand storage capacities in order to fully exploit the potential of wind turbines. It is probably the greatest risk to the acceptance of the energy transition: Time and again, wind turbines stand still despite stiff breezes because the grid cannot absorb the energy. In such cases, operators have to throttle...
