6 FAQs about [German wind power storage]

How will storage impact Germany's energy future?

Storage will be key to enabling Germany to better leverage its abundant wind and solar generation, which accounted for over 60% of total electricity generation in the first half of 2024. Currently, on very windy and sunny days, grid operators often resort to curtailment.

How important is electricity storage in Germany?

Electricity storage systems will become increasingly important as the share of variable renewables increases further and other flexibility options (such as grid expansion) reach their limits. In Germany, most important storage options include pumped hydro (9 GW)) and battery storage (11 GW – 18 GWh storage capacity).

Does Germany need remote control technology for solar PV and wind farms?

Germany introduced a requirement to include remote control technology in solar PV and wind farms in 2009. However, this requirement only applied to power plants larger than 100 kW, as the cost of the technology was deemed to be disproportionately high for smaller-scale systems.

Could Germany have avoided 36 GWh of fossil gas-based power generation?

Estimates suggest that Germany could have avoided 36 GWh of costly fossil gas-based power generation in June 2024 alone had it simply had an additional 2 GW of grid-scale battery storage. 38 Key to activating greater investment in battery storage is a revamped policy and regulatory framework.

How can German transmission system operators control the output of solar PV?

Being able to remotely control the output of solar PV and wind plants is an important technical prerequisite for running a power plant with very high shares of wind and solar PV. German transmission system operators can in this way control and reduce or curtail the output of variable renewable energy sources.

Does Germany have a strong electricity grid?

A strong and highly interconnected electricity grid is one of the key flexibility assets in Germany – and Europe. No other region of the world has a comparable cross-national grid as robust, reliable and interconnected as that in Europe.
