The German Federal Network Agency estimates the demand for large-scale battery storage will reach 23.7GW in 2037, which corresponds to 237 projects of the same size as the one to be delivered by MW Storage and Fluence. Additionally, according to a recent study by Frontier Economics, by 2050, energy storage assets will, among others, generate €12 billion in macro-economic value, reduce CO2 emissions by up to 6.2 million tonnes in 2030, and lower electricity costs for end customers.
