Solarplaza Summit Energy Storage Germany

8 Dec 2026

Düsseldorf

Germany's storage moment: where the Energiewende meets gigawatt-hour reality

BESS market Germany | Grid-scale BESS | BESS co-location

Join us in Düsseldorf on 8 December 2026 for the Solarplaza Summit Energy Storage Germany: Europe's most attractive grid-scale BESS market.

Germany ended 2025 as Europe's leading grid-scale BESS market, with 2.4 GW online, a 9.5 GW pipeline, 250 GW of grid-connection requests, and Wood Mackenzie forecasting another 3.5 GW in 2026. This year will redefine the market as BNetzA reviews the 20-year grid-fee exemption, EU state-aid approval for EEG 2023 expires, and Germany launches its first capacity-market tenders, including 2 GW open to BESS. Join developers, investors, TSOs, DSOs, optimizers, EPCs, manufacturers, banks, lawyers, and policymakers to explore the regulations, financing, trading strategies, and solar-plus-storage opportunities shaping Germany's next phase of growth.
If you have capital to deploy, projects to build, or assets to optimize in Germany, this is the one event you’ll want to attend.
