Last year's photovoltaic expansion in Germany exceeded government goals, reaching 14 GW – surpassing the 9 GW target. ☀ Now, the focus shifts to storage solutions as the German government develops a strategy for large PV-setups with highly effective storages to become the new norm. ⚡ Our expertise at ENVIRIA also revolves around optimizing photovoltaic installations on large commercial roofs with integrated energy storages – delivering significant savings and additional revenue through intelligent solutions, as Marvin Mertens, Head of Residual Power at ENVIRIA, elaborates in his article for pv magazine Deutschland. But what's the deal? 💡  An energy storage can be a real game-changer, e.g. you can sell stored power at the spot market when demand is high and use “peak shaving” strategies, a targeted reduction of electricity peaks during periods of high demand. This can bring you up to 25% more income and potential savings of 30%. But when does an electricity storage start to pay off? The key lies in understanding investment costs. With optimal alignment, larger installations may lead to storage amortization in as little as five to six years. ✊ Discover how integrated energy storages enhance PV-solutions and what factors are important to unlock the full potential. 🚀 Read the full German article here:

13k - an upside for German hydrogen production     The German energy regulator, Bundesnetzagentur, recently approved the criteria for participation on the #13k-market. “13k” refers to paragraph 13k of the EnWG, which enables renewable electricity that would otherwise be curtailed to be purchased at a favourable price. #nutzenstattabregeln This comes on the back of the BNetzA nodding off the TSOs proposed 13k-price setting mechanism. Details here https://lnkd.in/eeUKDVVy So what? ❓ This is good news for newbuilt electrolysers who can participate as long as they have a capacity >100kW and are located in one of the congested network locations, which are most regions in northern Germany. At 17TWh of curtailed renewable electricity in 2023, the volumes available via 13k will be sizeable. Power to heat applications and grid connected BESS can also participate, but they have far more stringent rules to participate than electrolysers. While it is highly unlikely for an electrolyser to source electricity solely from this mechanism, it will certainly provide an upside for German LCOH. It allows for a more efficient power procurement strategy and a reduced need to over-contract on PPAs. Plus, 13k prices are expected to be well below day-ahead market prices. How does it work exactly? 🔬 TSOs forecast the electricity that is likely to be curtailed in the congestion area. Qualified participants in the region procure the assigned forecasted electricity from the day ahead market. In return, they receive compensation for the electricity purchased minus the defined 13k-price. Additionally, participants receive compensation for additional costs associated with this procurement. Penalties apply in case of non-use.    The 13k-price is determined by the TSOs based on a predefined formula encompassing natural gas prices, CO2 prices and E-boiler efficiency factors. The price is capped at historic reserve prices and floored at 0.  What is happening next? ⏭ The 13k mechanism will go live from 1st October 2024. Initially, a two-year trial period will apply where the allocation of 13k electricity will be determined by the TSO. After the trial period, the volumes are expected to be auctioned via a more competitive process. With such significant volume sof curtailed renewable electricity, these auctions are likely to be undersubscribed.  https://lnkd.in/e3fQsB-W

Exploring the cost of a solar system might seem straightforward, but the reality is nuanced. The system's size and the varying prices of components play a huge role in what customers pay. Also, online estimates vary widely and may not reflect current market realities. A recent article by EFAHRER.com sheds light on this complexity. It highlights how Otovo is one of the most competitive players in terms of prices for both PV and a combined PV and battery solution that can bolster solar power consumption by up to 80%. This signifies a meaningful stride in making solar energy more accessible and efficient for consumers. ☀️ Read more 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dDBbP3CS

That's how you reach 100% green electricity 💚   Are you ready to power your company sustainably without compromising profitability? In our latest blog article, we explain how to achieve 100% green electricity through efficient energy procurement strategies.   🌱 With regulatory pressures like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the rising importance of ESG ratings, switching to renewable energy is more crucial than ever. Not only does it support the environment, but it also helps companies gain independence from fluctuating electricity markets. However, PV and energy storage systems in many cases do not (yet) provide enough electricity to be fully self-sufficient. That's when external energy procurement comes into play.   📊 Smart Energy Procurement Models:   ✅ Fixed-Price Tariffs: Stability and predictability at a premium.   ✅ Tranche Model: Price security through phased purchasing.   ✅ Spot Market: Seize opportunities with market-driven prices.   ✅ Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Direct deals with renewable energy providers for consistent rates.   ✅ Combined Products: Tailor a diversified energy portfolio for optimal stability and flexibility.   🔍 Ensuring True Green Energy:   ✅ Guarantees of Origin (HKN): Certify your renewable energy sources.   ✅ Green Electricity Certificates: Look for labels that ensure high environmental standards and sustainable practices.   🔧 Maximize Your Benefits: Combine your solar system with energy storage and external procurement for a robust, sustainable, and cost-effective energy solution. ENVIRIA is here to help you create the perfect mix tailored to your company's needs.   Read more in our new article: https://lnkd.in/eufRed54   #greenenergy #sustainability #solar #energyprocurement #stromeinkauf
