Green Storage Reality Check

(Retrofit and New-Build)

EEG provides a floor — but that is no longer enough

EEG subsidies protect against price risk — but economic viability today requires active trading on spot and ancillary markets.

Green storage: the privileged path to grid connection

EEG §19-compliant storage assets receive priority grid access and significantly reduced grid fees — a structural yield advantage over conventional storage.

Return map: where green storage increases returns — and where it does not

Not every site benefits equally from the green storage privilege. The study maps which regions and grid connection points deliver real incremental returns.

Right technical sizing: optimising retrofit and greenfield

Retrofit on existing assets and greenfield new-build have different sizing optima. The study covers differences in power rating, capacity and dispatch strategy.
