Heat Pump, Wallbox & Battery Storage: What Does the New Regulation of §14a EnWG Mean in Practice?

Free Webinar

Tuesday, May 14, 2024 | 11:00am–12:00pm CEST | Webinar Language: German

By 2030, 15 million electric vehicles and 6 million heat pumps are to be connected to the grid in Germany. In order to avoid overloading the electricity grid, an emergency instrument was introduced this year in the form of the provisions of Section 14a of the Energy Industry Act.

Its implementation poses major challenges for grid operators, suppliers, appliance manufacturers and not least the electrical trade: We discuss how the new regulations will be realised technically, what hurdles exist and what will also apply from 2025, with a legal assessment by Anna von Bremen, LL.M., Partner at Osborne Clarke, and a look at the practical side by Sebastian Mahlow, Managing Director of ison GmbH.

The recording and the speakers' presentations are available here on our digital content platform The smarter E Digital.

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
