With the expiration of the Atypical Grid Use Regulation in 2029, an instrument that has motivated companies for years to invest in battery storage, energy management, and grid-supporting flexibility will come to an end. At the same time, there is still no concrete successor program in place. This is precisely where a significant risk lies for the energy transition and Germany’s position as an industrial hub.

Warning About an Investment Gap

In an op-ed for energate and in an interview with the ZFK, our CEO Magnus Pielke makes it clear: Anyone who eliminates existing incentives without creating a new, reliable regulatory framework jeopardizes investments in urgently needed flexibility.

What Germany Needs Now

From be.storaged’s perspective, Germany now needs:

• Planning Certainty for Businesses
• Clear and Binding Rules for Future Dynamic Grid Tariffs
• A transitional provision that does not hinder investment in grid-friendly storage systems

The Reality: A Growing Need for Flexibility

We are integrating more and more renewable energy into the grid. At the same time, the need for flexibility and storage is growing. Companies want to become more resilient and take an active role in shaping their energy supply. To do so, they need reliable economic incentives.

Our Position

Flexibility is not an option, but a key prerequisite for a climate-neutral, stable, and affordable energy system. The regulatory framework must promote this development—not hinder it.
