EnergiespeicherPLUS - Berlin funding programme for electricity storage goes online

Published

The aim of the EnergiespeicherPLUS programme is to drive forward the expansion of photovoltaics in Berlin and to increase the share of renewable energies in electricity consumption, even in times of low sun and low wind. This benefits climate protection, as CO 2 -emissions can be avoided. The Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme provides subsidies for the investment costs of electricity storage systems if a photovoltaic system is installed at the same time. The
IBB Business Team GmbH implements the program. Since 1 January 2020, an electronic application for funding can now be submitted quickly and easily to the IBB Business Team GmbH under www.energiespeicherplus.de be put.

Energy Senator Ramona PopEvery Berliner can make a contribution to the energy transition in our capital city. We support this with our Energy Storage PLUS funding programme. I am pleased about the great interest. Since October, over 200 preliminary applications have already been submitted. Every new photovoltaic system helps us get one step closer to our goal of becoming climate neutral."

We subsidise the purchase and commissioning of solar energy storage systems of up to 15,000 euros. If the storage system has a forecast-based operating strategy, a bonus of 300 euros is added. The prerequisite for a subsidy is that a photovoltaic system is purchased and commissioned at the same time as the storage system. The subsidy can be combined with other funding, e.g. from the Funding programme for business-oriented electromobility or from the green roof funding programme, can be combined. All owners of buildings in Berlin can apply for the funding.

Fraunhofer study: PV and onshore wind are the cheapest technologies in Germany

Fraunhofer study: PV and onshore wind are the cheapest technologies in Germany

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE presented the fourth edition of their study on the cost price of electricity from renewable sources on March 20, 2018. In it, they analyze current costs and forecast further developments based on technology-specific learning rates and market scenarios up to the year 2035. "The cost forecasts of the previous studies have been confirmed.

The cost price of electricity from renewable energies is falling continuously and is no longer an obstacle to CO₂-free electricity generation. Newly constructed photovoltaic plants and onshore wind turbines at favourable locations are already cheaper than fossil-fuel power plants, and this trend will increase significantly by 2035," says project manager Dr Christoph Kost.

The ever-improving competitive position of renewables is leading to new applications and rapidly growing markets that are no longer dependent on subsidies. On the other hand, the full-load hours of conventional power plants continue to decline due to a higher share of renewables, which drives up their costs. In addition, fuel and CO2-certificate prices. "It can be assumed that not necessarily the cheapest conventional form of generation will exist on the market to complement the fluctuating renewables, but the one that can show a high flexibility in terms of start-up and shut-down variability, i.e. preferably power plants based on natural gas", says Dr. Christoph Kost.

Currently, PV systems achieve electricity production costs of between 3.71 and 11.54 € cents/kWh, depending on the system type and global radiation - which in Germany is between 950 and 1,300 kWh/(m²a). The specific system costs are between €600 and €1,400/kWp, depending on the system type.

From 2030 onwards, the LCOE for PV systems will fall below 4.7 cents/kWh for
rooftop systems or 2.41 € cents/kWh for ground-mounted systems. The specific system costs will fall to between €350 and €815/kWp by 2035.

Paderborn district cracks 100 percent mark for green electricity

Paderborn district cracks 100 percent mark for green electricity

The district of Paderborn has achieved a climate target that can currently only be dreamed of nationwide. It has a green electricity supply of more than 100 per cent. This year, with the help of wind, sun, biomass and water, for the first time as much renewable electricity is being generated as is being consumed. Since the end of June, it has been exactly 112 per cent.

Annual consumption: 2.3 billion kilowatt hours

This is what the State Association for Renewable Energies in OWL determined. The association used figures from the State Agency for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection (LANUV) as well as current data from the district of Paderborn. According to these figures, the more than 500 wind turbines, 11,500 photovoltaic systems and 53 biomass power plants generate slightly more electricity on an annual average than private individuals, trade and industry in the district of Paderborn require over the year: Almost 2.3 billion kilowatt hours.

Second place for Höxter district with 63 per cent green electricity

This puts the Paderborn district in the Champions League nationwide: "There are very few regions that already fulfil the 100 per cent green electricity quota - in NRW, we are the first and so far the only one," says Kerstin Haarmann (Paderborn), Managing Director of LEE OWL. This is particularly remarkable because the district of Paderborn has a national average electricity consumption due to its share of industry. Smaller districts with little industry and commerce would naturally find it easier to reach 100 per cent. In a comparison of East Westphalia, the district of Paderborn is the lone leader: the district of Höxter is in second place with 63 per cent green electricity, followed by the district of Lippe with 23.5 per cent, Gütersloh with 20.8 per cent, Minden-Lübbecke with 17 per cent and Herford with 6.5 per cent. Bringing up the rear is the city of Bielefeld with a 4.5 per cent share of green electricity in electricity consumption.

Renewables account for 27 per cent of total energy demand

The district of Paderborn has even achieved its climate target, which was unanimously approved by the district council in 2011, ahead of schedule. The plan was for electricity consumption to be completely renewable by 2020. "However, we don't have time to rest on our laurels in the fight against climate change," explains Jürgen Wrona (Delbrück) from the LEE OWL board. Measured in terms of total energy demand (electricity, heat and transport), the proportion of renewables in the Paderborn district is currently only around 27 per cent. "There is room for improvement, especially in the areas of heating and transport," says Wrona.
