If you wish to bid for a contract involving an energy storage project, we can advise you on submitting your application/bid in a legally compliant manner that meets your business objectives.
This is the largest framework agreement for battery storage projects between project developers and investors in continental Europe and an important contribution to the success of the energy transition.
German government opens public consultation on new frameworks to procure energy resources, including long-duration energy storage (LDES).
The strategy paper provides an overview of the measures and challenges involved in establishing energy storage systems. The energy storage strategy aims to promote the expansion and integration of energy storage systems and thus support the energy transition.
In the following, we provide an overview of the recent developments of the legal framework of BESS projects and outline which obstacles to BESS projects still require further efforts by...
German battery energy storage: a key technology for grid integration? While Germany''s new coalition government has made the right noises about energy storage in its written agreement, the lack of concrete reform and legal certainty in the terms used is not enough for investors to bank on.
A "typical" (or, more aptly an "ideal", since there is still a large variety of different structures) energy storage project comprises the supply contract for the battery storage system and a construction contract for the planning and erection of the storage system.
It is the largest framework agreement for battery storage projects between project developers and investors in continental Europe and an important contribution to the success of the green energy transition.
German government opens public consultation on new frameworks to procure energy resources, including long-duration energy storage (LDES).
In the following, we provide an overview of the recent developments of the legal framework of BESS projects and outline which obstacles to BESS projects still require further efforts by the new German government.

While Germany’s new coalition government has made the right noises about energy storage in its written agreement, the lack of concrete reform and legal certainty in the terms used is not enough for investors to bank on. The energy transition requires a fundamental restructuring of the energy supply system.
Therefore the business model for a German energy storage system is slightly different to business models in other markets. The key business models in Germany comprise: Improvement of reliability of electricity supply for industrial production.
The German legal framework for BESS projects is currently also in a process of changes: The German parliament adopted a comprehensive energy reform package on 31 January 2025, which includes relevant changes for BESS projects with the aim to further support the growth of storage capacities in Germany.
"The framework agreement with Obton is a milestone for the expansion of the energy infrastructure in Germany," says Florian Antwerpen, Managing Director of Kyon Energy. "The addition of 600 MW of storage capacity will significantly increase the flexibility of the grids. We are proud to make this contribution to the success of the energy transition"
German Battery Storage on a Ri... High and further increasing volatility of power prices due to the expansion of renewables on the one hand and significantly decreasing prices for battery cells in recent years on the other hand have led to a highly attractive market environment for battery storage (BESS) projects in Germany.
