Marie-Sophie Braun: The BESS market in Germany has entered a new era, evolving from a niche technology to an undisputed key asset class for the energy transition.

Nevertheless, we see a strong momentum across the industry to overcome remaining barriers.
Is there any clarity on what grid fees/network charges will look like for BESS coming online after 4 August 2029?
