Energy Storage
Investment in energy storage for a biogas farmer
Project
The client, a biogas farmer, intends to integrate two energy storage systems into their existing plant to enhance operational flexibility and overall profitability. The project aims to stabilize and increase long-term revenue by combining government incentives, such as the flexibility bonus under the German EEG, with optimized energy trading. By strategically storing and selling electricity during peak market periods, the plant can better manage energy output, reduce dependence on fluctuating energy prices, and support the energy transition.
Proposed Solution:
Installation of two energy storage systems with technical planning and support from qualified suppliers. Stored energy is sold during high-price market periods, while the flexibility bonus under German regulations (EEG) is secured.
Client Benefits and Application:
Total annual revenue of approximately €579,750 with a payback period of 1.75 years. Increases independence from energy price fluctuations, stabilizes the grid, and enhances the client’s reputation as an innovative entrepreneur. Applied at a biogas plant in Germany.
