Germany’s Battery Opportunity: Report 

Germany’s Battery Opportunity: Report 

May 15, 2026 | , ,

Germany hosts around a quarter of the EU’s total large-scale battery capacity, with over 2.5 GW operational by the end of 2025 which is more than double the capacity of just two years earlier. Germany has a strong grid-scale battery pipeline, but the lack of an ambitious clean flexibility strategy and the preferential treatment of gas in forthcoming auctions risk slowing deployment, causing the country to forego the benefits of batteries and remain locked into gas import dependency for decades. Empowering batteries will help fortify Germany’s energy security.

Europe’s Energy Security

Europe’s Energy Security

April 27, 2026 | ,

EU energy security policy guarantees that all households and essential services are protected in case of crisis. For this reason, the gas security of supply framework designates households and essential social services. These customer categories in turn receive special protection, to avoid that they are disconnected during an energy crisis. For electricity, EU countries can protect users against disconnection if personal security or public safety are at risk. Even during the worst of times, EU countries are required to help each other out and offer solidarity. This means that EU countries will send gas or electricity to a neighbouring EU country in need.
