Strategic Context:
Germany represents one of the largest and most advanced energy markets in Europe. As of the end of 2024, the country had ~250 GW of installed capacity, with ~60% from renewable sources. According to market forecasts, by 2030 the installed capacity is expected to reach ~417 GW, of which 77% will be renewables. The German government has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 and phasing out coal by 2038.
The battery storage sector in Germany is still in early development, with currently ~2 GW of installed capacity. Market forecasts project this figure will reach 10 GW by 2030 and 25 GW by 2050.
After monitoring the market and its developments over an extended period, Econergy has identified the conditions as ripe for market entry, based on strong projected demand for storage and favorable expected returns. The company intends to further deepen its presence in Germany and is actively evaluating additional storage opportunities.
Econergy expects that the German operations will evolve into a dedicated operating segment and business line in its financial reporting, with appropriate disclosure to be included in the Q2 2025 financials.
