NEDO was set up to find alternatives for ESS like pumped hydro with construction periods that are long, large budgets and environmental factors that are associated with it.
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?
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.
Industry associations had until 16 January 2024 to comment. The strategy provides a valuable insight into the Federal Government's future framework for the operation of electricity storage systems and the issues that remain open. Germany's electricity supply is to be practically climate-neutral by 2035.
The BMWK's electricity storage strategy clearly demonstrates the importance it attaches to electricity storage technology for the future and also that it recognises the key issues and problem areas. However, although it focusses on the correct topics and outlines initial approaches, it currently offers only few specific measures.
The BMWK sees the growth of storage deployments as a market-driven development which both should be encouraged and which demonstrates the current economic viability of electricity storage systems.
According to the BMWK, it is already possible to operate energy storage systems economically today due to the privileges for energy storage systems. The framework conditions for a market-driven ramp-up are also basically right. Nevertheless, there are still numerous factors that can limit the ramp-up of energy storage systems:
