German container energy storage station customization

Public research and development incentives for EV and stationary battery research amount to between EUR 80 million and EUR 85 million every year. As the European lead market in the energy transition age, Germany provides the opportunity for companies to develop, test, define and market new energy storage solutions.

The German population supports the goals of the energy transition. Improved energy self-sufficiency in private households and commercial operations enjoys widespread acceptance. More than 1.7 million solar power plants, with a total capacity of more than 45 GWp, have been installed in Germany over the past 25 years.

There are currently 54 hydrogen fueling stations in operation and 40 under construction. By 2023, the stated objective is to have 400 hydrogen filling stations across Germany in operation. Thanks to its strong industrial base in the relevant technology application fields, Germany is the ideal location for attracting participants to this market.

Germany boasts a dense landscape of world-leading research institutes and universities active in the energy storage sector. They work closely together with industry to bring innovations to the market. The federal government supports research and development in the energy storage, hydrogen, fuel cell, and electric vehicle sectors.

While the demand for energy storage is growing across Europe, Germany remains the European lead target market and the first choice for companies seeking to enter this fast-developing industry. The country stands out as a unique market, development platform and export hub.

Germany will also gradually phase out all of its nuclear power plants by 2023 – and in doing so will revolutionize its energy infrastructure. Germany is already a front-runner in renewable energy development. Renewable energy sources currently produce around 36 per-cent of all electricity consumed in the country.
