Germany’s installed based of large-scale energy storage predicted to roughly double in the next couple of years, after 2022 saw a comeback.

A solar-plus-storage project has been commissioned in Saxony, Germany, the first in the state from the recent ‘innovation tenders’ to do so.

Some 1.9GW of grid-scale battery energy storage was deployed across Europe last year, of which nearly 85% was in UK, Ireland, Germany and France according to research and consultancy LCP Delta.

More than two-thirds of the planned lithium-ion battery production capacity in Europe is at risk of delay, downsizing or cancellation mainly due to the Inflation Reduction Act, according to a new study.

Deutsche Telekom has announced the first battery energy storage system installation in a 300MWh rollout in Germany, with Norwegian firm Pixii the technology provider.

German commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system firm Tesvolt is investing €60 million in a new manufacturing hub at its headquarters in Lutherstadt Wittenberg.

Global battery storage system integrator Fluence grew revenues 78% and doubled its gross profit margin in October-December 2022, its first financial quarter under the helm of new CEO Julian Nebreda.

Austria-based utility Verbund is targeting 1GW of battery storage by 2030, it revealed in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a recent project in Bavaria, Germany.

Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) has entered the German market, targeting development of 2GW of solar and energy storage assets by 2027.

ASX-listed Altech Chemicals and research institute Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft have progressed plans for a 100MWh plant in Germany to produce the latter’s energy storage-focused sodium solid state battery technology.
