4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Germany s new wind solar and energy storage project"

Can Germany use solar energy?

However, renewable energies come with a catch: Due to a lack of storage capacity, Germany cannot fully leverage the potential that solar energy ofers. During sunny and windy phases, wind and solar park operators have to throttle or even shut down their systems repeatedly to avoid overloading the power grids.

Does Germany have a solar-plus-storage innovation tender?

Image: Baywa r.e. The German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has awarded 587MW of solar-plus-storage in its latest Innovation Tender. As has been the case in many of Germany's recent solar PV auctions, the Innovation Tender ended up oversubscribed, with 154 bids made for 1.8GW of capacity out of 583MW tendered capacity.

Will Germany add more power storage projects in 2023?

Germany will likely add many more projects in the coming months, as the federal government increasingly focuses on storage solutions. In December 2023, the Federal Ministry for Economic Afairs and Climate Action (BMWK) published its “Power Storage Strategy” to accelerate the development of new capacities.

How many MW of solar-plus-storage capacity will be awarded?

Both capacity bid for and awarded were higher than the previous innovation auction held in July 2024, which awarded 512MW of capacity for solar-plus-storage projects. The Innovation Tender solicitations were launched in 2020, and are open to project bids that combine two or more renewable or clean energy technologies.
