The German government is working on several strategies for the energy transition. Three are particularly relevant with regard to the use of large-scale battery storage systems: the system development strategy, the electricity storage strategy and the power plant strategy.

The energy transition could fail due to a lack of electricity storage systems - a fact that has now been recognized by federal politicians. How a start-up from a Munich backyard is helping to avert failure.

With the expansion of renewable energies, the demand for large storage facilities is increasing. However, operators are complaining about the cost burden caused by the construction cost subsidy (BKZ). A ruling by the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court (OLG) could provide clarity - but for now, there is uncertainty in the industry.
