Energy-Storage.news proudly presents this sponsored webinar with Clean Horizon, on how the evolving nature of Germany’s grid connection agreements can affect the business case for battery storage projects.

This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the current grid constraint landscape in Germany, with a focus on what it means in practice for the storage business case.

Viewers will gain a clear understanding of how ramp rate restrictions and grid limitations translate into concrete business model challenges, with real-world examples illustrating how developers can structure tailored, constraint-aware models for a single project, including the multiple-scenario analyses increasingly required in Flexible Connection Agreement (FCA) processes.

The session addresses the critical question of financing: how do route-to-market (RTM) players continue to assess and price battery projects in a constrained environment? And what do lenders actually need to see to get comfortable?

We explore what a credible, bankable multi-scenario package looks like, one that presents worst-case assumptions transparently while making a robust, evidence-based case for why those scenarios remain unlikely.

Key Learning Points:

  • The current state of grid access and operational limitations in Germany, including BNetzA ramp rate recommendations.
  • How grid constraints vary by point of connection and what this means for project development.
  • Practical business model examples built around ramp rate and grid limitations.
  • How to structure multi-scenario analyses to meet FCA requirements. How RTM players and lenders evaluate and finance projects under these new constraints.

Speakers:

Salomé Perperot, senior consultant, Clean Horizon

Marcel Marquart, country manager for Germany, Clean Horizon
