The German transmission system operators see a high demand for additional capacity. According to the current grid development plan (NEP) open_in_new, depending on the future supply scenario, up to 113.4 gigawatts of additional capacity would be required in Germany in the area of PV batteries alone.
Experts assume that 12 gigawatts of storage capacity would have to be covered by pumped storage power plants and up to 168 gigawatts by large and small battery storage systems for the German market. These are hard figures that illustrate how multi-layered and complex the energy transition is in practice.
