What is Germany's electricity storage capacity?

They still make up the largest share of the electricity storage capacity in Germany; about 30 projects commissioned between 1926 and 2004 provide a total capacity of about 7 GW. The majority are operated by utilities and they principally provide time-shifted electricity supply and balancing energy.

Does Germany have a solar-plus-storage innovation tender?

As has been the case in many of Germany’s recent solar PV auctions, the Innovation Tender ended up oversubscribed, with 154 bids made for 1.8GW of capacity out of 583MW tendered capacity.

How many MW of solar-plus-storage capacity will be awarded?

Both capacity bid for and awarded were higher than the previous innovation auction held in July 2024, which awarded 512MW of capacity for solar-plus-storage projects. The Innovation Tender solicitations were launched in 2020, and are open to project bids that combine two or more renewable or clean energy technologies.
