IV.C. Large-scale storage systems In 2022, a record of 47 LSS with a battery energy of 0.47 GWh and a power of 0.43 GW were installed in Germany, showing an increase of 910% in terms of battery energy. By the end of 2022, 149 LSS with a cumulative battery energy of 1.2 GWh and a power of 1.07 GW were installed.
Balancing the rising share of intermittent renewables calls for new solutions and business models. In Germany, energy storage has experienced a dynamic market environment in recent years, particularly for providing ancillary services, and in home applications. This report sheds light on the important topic of energy storage.
The storage systems are distributed throughout Germany. While home storage and industrial storage are aggregated within districts, large-scale storage is presented as individual systems. For home and industrial storage, most of the systems are in the western and southern parts of Germany.

In total, some gigawatt hours of stationary battery storage is reported by now in Germany. The largest share of this is accounted for by home storage, which carries the overall market.
In Germany, in most cases, neither environmental nor energy industry permits are required for battery storage system alone, though it must comply with the regulation on electromagnetic fields (26. BImSchV). Battery storage systems must be registered in the market master database (Marktstammdatenregister).
Most storage systems in Germany are currently used together with residential PV plants to increase self-consumption and reduce costs. Inexpensive storage systems can be built using Second-Life-Batteries (Bundesnetzagentur für Elektrizität, Gas, Telekommunikation, Post und Eisenbahnen, 2020).
