The models proposed by the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) and the BDEW for the future electricity grid fee structure differ in four key areas and weight grid fee criteria differently, as shown in a new EWI study.
As part of the Hydrogen Monitor, the EWI uses its own project databases to track the actual progress of the hydrogen rollout in Germany. Planned projects for production, import, and consumption are largely in the early planning stages.
Compliance with the emissions budget by 2030 not confirmed: The ERK has published its review report on the calculation of German greenhouse gas emissions for 2025 and the projection data for 2026. EWI Director Marc Oliver Bettzüge is part of the panel.
Large-scale battery storage systems are considered a crucial building block of the energy transition and offer a wide range of applications. In a recent analysis, the EWI examines the role and potential of these systems from technical, economic, and regulatory perspectives.
The selection of trading partners for green hydrogen and ammonia is crucial for energy security. However, favorable economic, political, and social conditions often come with higher import costs.
The measures implemented so far under the 2026 Climate Action Program are, with high probability, not sufficient to ensure the achievement of the climate targets, according to the Council of Experts on Climate Change. EWI Director Bettzüge is part of the council.
A new analysis by the EWI examines the availability of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) until 2030. The results show that while the supply initially meets the needs of electrolyzers, competition between demand sectors is expected to increase.
The EWI, in collaboration with the Forum for Future Energies, hosted the second “Berlin Science Forum on the Energy Industry.” In keynote presentations and panel discussions, experts addressed the topic of “Integrated Electricity Market Design.”
The expansion of electrolysis capacity in Germany should be carried out in a way that is both cost-effective and beneficial to the grid. A new EWI report examines more than 20 regulatory instruments and their impact on both of these factors.
