For about 30 years, ABO Energy's in-house specialist departments have been providing all steps of project development and implementation: from site assessment, planning, engineering, permitting and financing to construction, grid connection, operational management and maintenance.
ABO Energy | 38,134 followers on LinkedIn. Renewables are our DNA. | Founded in 1996, ABO Energy (fomerly known as ABO Wind) is among Europe’s leading developers of renewable energy projects.
ABO Energy realises projects with a total annual investment of about 500 million euros. To date, ABO Energy has realised projects with a total capacity of about 6 gigawatts and constructed around half of these. We are looking for smart, creative and decisive minds, who are excited about the opportunities and prospects of renewable energies.
In 2024, six people make up ABO Energy’s Management Board: Dr. Karsten Schlageter, Dr. Jochen Ahn, Matthias Hollmann, Susanne von Mutius, Alexander Reinicke and Dr. Thomas Treiling.
In February 2023, ABO Energy formed an agreement with Repsol Renovables for five renewable energy projects, including three wind farms amounting to 150 megwatts, and two solar projects with a total capacity of 100 megawatts on sites in Palencia in northern Spain.
Currently, the company is active in 16 countries on four continents. In Germany, ABO Energy operates at its corporate headquarters in Wiesbaden as well as in Ingelheim and in regional offices in Berlin, Rhineland-Palatinate, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia, Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as in Saarland.

Thus, the five key ESS technologies: lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, solid-state batteries, hydrogen storage, and thermal storage are key determinants of the German energy transition..

Germany had 2,954,763.8kW of capacity in 2021 and this is expected to rise to 19,248,861.8kW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Germany, according to GlobalData’s power database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global energy storage segment.
Balancing the rising share of intermittent renewables calls for new solutions and business models. In Germany, energy storage has experienced a dynamic market environment in recent years, particularly for providing ancillary services, and in home applications. This report sheds light on the important topic of energy storage.
Germany Adds New Capacity ESS Installations from 2019 to 2024 The expansion of Europe’s energy storage installations has slowed, largely attributed to diminished demand. This trend is exemplified by Germany, the continent's premier energy storage market.
Given these market forces and the increasing extension of the Energiewende into mobility and heating, German energy industry experts surveyed by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) expect demand for power storage to increase substantially in the years to come.
Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy maintained their positions as the top three markets for energy storage installations in Europe during 2023. As per statistics from TrendForce, Germany, the UK, and Italy added 6.1 GWh, 4.0 GWh, and 3.9 GWh of installations, respectively, during the year.
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).

As of 1 January 2016 the South African government gave a tax incentive through the for the installation of photovoltaic solar energy generation systems. Depending on the size defined in MWp () of the photovoltaic solar system, the amended section 12 B of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 stipulates the size of the available through to the commercial tax paying entity. South Africa's residential solar panel adoption is currently at 3.54%, but it's rapidly increasing. [pdf]
South Africa urgently needs to change this. It is highly dependent on coal fired power stations – about 85% of power is derived from fossil fuels. In addition, for the last decade it has faced increasingly severe power cuts. The rapid adoption of solar power could alleviate the pressure. Government has taken steps to improve the situation.
Solar power in South Africa includes photovoltaics (PV) as well as concentrated solar power (CSP). As of July 2024, South Africa had 2,287 MW of installed utility-scale PV solar power capacity in its grid, in addition to 5,791 MW of rooftop solar and 500 MW of CSP. Installed capacity is expected to reach 8,400 MW by 2030.
But it’s happening at a slow pace. South Africa is making efforts to increase the use of solar photovoltaic energy. But it’s happening at a slow pace. Solar photovoltaic contributes less than 5% to the country’s energy mix, despite the sunny climate, which is very favourable for solar photovoltaic energy generation.
Solar panels should be sold with motion sensors, floodlights and fasteners to prevent theft, and these security features should be subsidised by the government. South Africa is making efforts to increase the use of solar photovoltaic energy. But it’s happening at a slow pace.
Photovoltaic solar systems greater than 1 MW p are depreciated with the schedule 50%, 30%, and 20% in the first 3 years respectively. Despite this aggressive tax incentive, South African companies are slow to adopt grid-connected photovoltaic solar systems due to the lack of public dialogue from the government concerning photovoltaic solar energy.
Low and middle-income households have partially participated in the growing uptake of solar PV (SSEG) systems in South Africa for reasons pertaining to affordability and access to finance.
