Subsidy for small electricity storage systems in Brandenburg

A subsidy programme for small electricity storage units with grants of up to 3000 euros was launched today in Brandenburg. The State Ministry of Economics and Energy supports private homeowners in purchasing a battery storage unit if they generate the electricity themselves with a photovoltaic system on their own roof.

The small-scale storage programme is initially limited to 500 subsidies. It follows the previous year's 1,000-storage programme, which, according to Energy Minister Jörg Steinbach, had met with great demand. Within only six weeks, 1,026 applications had been submitted. Funding of over 5.3 million euros was approved.

The funding programme has already been exhausted.
