Deep Dive Germany 2 | Co-located PV and Storage: EEG reform, PPAs and Bankability

Recording from Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | Battery Business & Development Forum | Language: English | Duration: 79:41 .

As grid constraints increase and regulatory frameworks evolve, co-location of PV and battery storage is becoming a key development pathway in Germany. But the business case is not yet fully established. This session examines how different models perform in practice and under which conditions they become financeable.

What you will discuss:

How the upcoming EEG reform and tender design may affect co-located projects
Whether adding storage to PV creates measurable economic value
How hybrid PPAs are structured and what makes them work in practice
How banks and offtakers assess co-located projects compared to stand-alone BESS
Which project setups are currently viable in Germany
