Germany: grid-scale battery storage
Every battery storage system of 1 MW or larger operating in Germany, from the federal register — 518 systems, 4,224 MW, 7,146 MWh.
Most of this sector is reported from press releases. These pages are built straight from the official registers instead — counts and sums of what operators have filed, rebuilt every day, with no estimates of ours added. Free to read, and every figure traceable to its source.
Germany registers every generating unit and every battery in one public federal database. These pages are built directly from it. The register currently holds 9,210,185 assets and 237.1 GW of operating capacity.
Every battery storage system of 1 MW or larger operating in Germany, from the federal register — 518 systems, 4,224 MW, 7,146 MWh.
Battery projects of 1 MW or larger registered as planned but not yet operating — 589 projects, 11.24 GW, 32.01 GWh.
Every operating wind turbine in Germany by nameplate capacity and OEM — 32,154 turbines, 81.5 GW.
Operating solar plants of 1 MW or larger — 8,983 plants, 44.8 GW of the country's 128.6 GW total.
Network usage charges vary 4.4 ct/kWh between the cheapest and most expensive German state — the single biggest driver of where storage pencils out.
A market appears here only once we hold a primary source for it. We would rather show three countries honestly than thirty by estimate — so these are the registers being worked on, not a promise of dates.
EIA-860 and EIA-923 — generator-level capacity and generation.
REPD and the Elexon balancing datasets.
ENTSO-E transparency — cross-border flows and generation by type.
