German grid costs are to be modified to share the burden, supported by regions with significant growth in renewable energy capacity, with all German electricity consumers.

🌊 Partner Dr Christian Finnern recently shared his insights with Börsen-Zeitung on the transformative potential of offshore wind energy for the German maritime industry. Here are three key takeaways from his discussion: - by 2045, Germany aims to expand offshore wind capacity to at least 70 GW, driving significant demand for specialised vessels and energy infrastructure at sea; - with the right political and regulatory support, German shipyards can position themselves as key players in a growing segment that will be crucial for energy infrastructure; and - offshore wind projects offer attractive opportunities at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and transport, especially under the framework of "Green Finance" and "Sustainable Finance". These developments underscore the critical role of offshore wind in Germany's energy transition, offering economic growth and sustainability hand in hand.

Many thanks to Börsen-Zeitung for the productive exchange. Transition at the heart of our key industry sectors: Transport, Energy & Infrastructure.

Please read this week's Börsen-Zeitung with an article I wrote together with Katrin Andrä discussing what is accelerating the energy transition - and what is (still) slowing it down. Certain incentives German regulators implemented over the last years to expand renewable energies are taking effect. However, investors need quick and sustainable decisions on future regulation. This is in jeopardy with the uncertainty of the set up of the new government after the upcoming elections and might in certain areas impede decisions. You can also find a more thorough review of the asset landscape in the energy sector from an investor's point of view in Noerr's study which we published here: https://lnkd.in/eJ6NmjNG #TeamNoerr #Energy #Infrastructure #Mergersandacquisitions

Battery Storage Systems (BESS) in Germany: Key Trends and the Road Ahead • Energy Transition: Germany is pushing for climate-neutral power through renewable energy and battery storage solutions (BESS) Market Trends: • BESS revenues saw ups and downs in 2024, with a dip early in the year due to mild weather, but a strong recovery in Q3, driven by more solar and wind power. Government Support: • The BMWK is promoting BESS through policies, funding research, and supporting new technologies to enhance grid flexibility. • Regulatory Developments: • The Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) is working on market systems for energy storage, with a technology-neutral capacity market expected by 2028. Why BESS Matters: • BESS is crucial for stabilizing the grid, integrating renewables, and meeting Germany’s climate and energy goals. • What’s Next? • Understanding BESS technology and building sustainable business models will be key for success in the evolving energy market. Let’s have views on • How do you think BESS can help speed up the energy transition? • What’s the biggest opportunity for businesses in the energy storage market? #EnergyTransition #BESS #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #Germany #Sustainability #GridFlexibility #ClimateGoals #FutureEnergy

"Robert Habeck's renewable blind flight must be replaced by a system that prioritizes grid and storage expansion before renewable expansion and allows price signals to the lowest priced plant to work," said Kruse. Only in this way can it be "permanently avoided that excess scrap electricity clogs the networks, which is urgently needed at other times". "The electricity market of the future must ensure a cheap and safe power supply through the competition in the market," said Kruse. The EEG funding must be ended: "In international competition, a country like Germany cannot afford to permanently subsidize most of its energy system with tax billions and thereby distort the market and set false incentives."

The German Bundesverband WindEnergie e.V. in #Hamburg has according to tradition asked the parties being for election in the federal state of Hamburg on their position to #renewables and #windpower in Hamburg. See the answers in the linked article:

The Solarpaket 1 is a very important and welcome move. As one of the world's major economies, Germany's actions in promoting renewable energy will have a demonstrative effect. #ongrid #price #energy #battery #lanergy

It is important to address existing challenges that affect many of the international investors in Chile and to push for the implementation of political promises, in particular the expansion of the grid. Further on we expect the reduction of lateral costs (e.g. minimo technico and PMGD), which have been multiplied over the last years and are 12-15 times higher than the budget based on the tender.   At wpd, we have been working for over a year on proposals and initiatives aimed at contributing to the public discussion to generate support for correcting market distortions with the goal of achieving a clean, reliable energy industry at competitive prices. #wpd #Chile #renewables #onshorewind #greenhydrogen

The expansion of energy grids is crucial for the energy transition, but it demands more pragmatism and less bureaucracy. ⚡️ Curious about the challenges and potential solutions for accelerating grid expansion in Germany? In this insightful article, Matthias Lingg, Head of Engineering at ENVIRIA shares his perspective on what needs to change to meet future energy needs. 🌍 Learn how a more pragmatic approach could help navigate barriers and accelerate the transformation of our energy infrastructure.
