A new free online map details renewable energy and storage systems connected to Germany’s 871 distribution grids, with data updated every six months.
New online map shows renewable energy feed-in capacity across German distribution grids
Fifty-three photovoltaic systems with a combined capacity of 638 kW feed into the distribution grid operated by Max Peissker in Kaulsdorf, Thuringia, while 575,136 PV systems with a combined capacity of around 13.5 GW feed into the Bayernwerk Netz grid. The figures come from a new, freely accessible online map published by the evu+ initiative, part of the Edna Federal Association for Energy Market & Communication.
Updated every six months, the map shows the number and capacity of generation plants and storage systems connected to the distribution grids of Germany’s 871 grid operators. Battery storage systems are also included. Users can analyze the data by grid operator, federal state, generation technology and other criteria. The map does not, however, show available grid capacity.
Martin Käßler, who works in communications and marketing at edna member Fraunhofer IOSB-AST in Ilmenau, created the map with AI assistance, using data from the Core Energy Market Data Register (Marktstammdatenregister).
