Germany energy storage for resilience

4 FAQs about Germany energy storage for resilience

How does Germany support the development of energy storage facilities?

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 Energy Storage Funding Initiative launched in 2012, funding for the development of energy storage systems has been provided to around 250 projects.

Does Germany need energy storage systems?

While around 254 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity were generated from renewable energy in Germany in 2022, 600 TWh of electricity are expected to come from renewable sources by 2030. Germany is particularly dependent on a market ramp-up of energy storage systems, especially battery storage systems. What role do energy storage systems play?

What is the energy storage strategy?

The strategy paper provides an overview of the measures and challenges involved in establishing energy storage systems. The energy storage strategy aims to promote the expansion and integration of energy storage systems and thus support the energy transition. By 2035, the energy sector in Germany should be largely free of greenhouse gas emissions.

How can Germany support the transition to a new electricity system?

To ensure public support for the transition, the government should also clearly communicate costs, benefits and timelines. Germany should prioritise actions that optimise the efficiency and resilience of its growing electricity system, such as smart meters, grids, storage and locational pricing.
