The importance of battery storage in Germany is steadily increasing. Renewable energy sources now account for around 60 percent of the electricity mix, and further expansion without additional flexibility options - especially energy storage - is unlikely to be feasible. As feed-in from wind and photovoltaic systems continues to grow, situations of electricity surplus and shortage are becoming more frequent. These imbalances are still partly offset by power plants that run on fossil fuels.
Battery storage systems can help balance these fluctuations, make better use of renewable energy, and operate economically by leveraging price differences in the electricity market while providing essential grid services.
In this webinar, we will explore real-world case studies to discuss why large-scale battery storage is an indispensable building block for a stable and climate-friendly energy system. The goal is to demonstrate that battery storage is not only beneficial but essential for integrating renewable energy into the grid.
Together with our speakers Volker Schöller, Ludwig Igl, and Georg Gallmetzer, we will take a closer look at practical project examples:
Who should attend?
This webinar is aimed at grid operators, project developers, and operators of storage and renewable energy systems, utilities and municipal energy providers, investors, as well as representatives from policy, regulation, industry, and energy consulting who are interested in the role of battery storage in the future energy system.
During the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to submit questions, which the experts will answer in a live Q&A session. In addition, both the recording and the presentation slides will be made available after the webinar on our content platform The smarter E Digital.
