Technical FAQs 4

Why do we need electricity storage systems in decarbonised electricity markets?

In decarbonised electricity markets, electricity storage systems provide the flexibility urgently needed for grid operation and enhance the utilisation of volatile electricity generation from renewable sources.

What is energy storage at a co-location facility?

As co-location facilities or so-called 'energy storage at the same location', batteries can store unused electricity generated by wind turbines or PV systems affected by peak shaving for later consumption or sale. This also applies to the new flexible, limited or restricted forms of grid access.

What is the projected capacity of storage in 2025?

Looking forward to 2025, overall growth is expected to be 37%, with an installed capacity of 1.1 GWh. of this, household storage is projected to be installed at 670 MWh, a small increase, accounting for 61% of the total. Commercial and industrial storage 280 MWh, steady growth.

Are there any solar storage subsidy programs?

Last year, there were two major solar storage subsidy programs: KLIEN and ÖMAG. ÖMAG subsidized 31,000 energy storage systems at a rate of 200 EUR/kWh. Since ÖMAG’s funding was expected to run out in 2023, KLIEN was introduced as a supplement to ÖMAG.
