BNetzA president Klaus Müller told Handelsblatt reporter Catianna Krapp that while projects that are commissioned by 4 August 2029 will remain exempt, they must reach final investment decision (FID) before new regulations under the regulator’s AgNeS grid fee reforms come into effect.

The agency is expected to introduce dynamic grid fees for energy storage at some stage during 2030 and 2033, and will give more info this year.

Yesterday, Fluence’s Julian Jansen offered Energy-Storage.news a commentary in response to the latest development, describing the revised proposal of the AgNeS reform as “an important and encouraging signal for the German [energy] storage market.”

“It also sends a clear signal of certainty and clarity to investors,” Jansen said.

“By providing greater certainty and clarity to investors, it ensures that billions in private investment remain directed toward Germany’s storage market.”
