In Germany, the so called electricity market 2.0 was initialized in 2017 by the lawmakers with the goal of enhancing fair competition in the electricity market. The undertaking should increase the competitiveness of flexible electricity producers, flexible consumers and flexible energy storage operators.
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).
Energy is traded at the European Energy Exchange (EEX) in Leipzig, Germany. Over 4000 firms participate in the German energy stock market. Certified market participants (only companies) can buy and sell electricity for determined time-windows.
