The German network regulator’s decision to maintain grid fee exemptions for battery storage “ensures that billions in private investment remain directed” into the market, Energy-Storage.news has heard.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has initiated a programme to encourage battery energy storage systems (BESS) and other inverter-based resources to adopt grid-forming technology.
TagEnergy has commissioned a 240MW/480MWh project in France while Iberdrola has done the same with a 58MW/120MWh system in Spain, the two largest projects in each country. Meanwhile Engie, ACL Energy and Chint Solar Europe have moved to construction on projects in Belgium, Italy and Germany.
The US can currently produce enough solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) modules to meet domestic demand, according to clean energy trade body American Clean Power (ACP).
Germany’s energy system regulator has confirmed that BESS projects coming online by 4 August 2029 will be exempt from charging and discharging grid fees, opening up investment again after months of uncertainty.
