The problem is well known: solar power systems feed their electricity into the grid during periods of high sunshine. The more systems that do so, the lower the price they achieve. In this way, they cannibalise their own revenues. Storage systems break this vicious circle: “Anyone who optimally coordinates storage, photovoltaics and grid connection can turn the structural problem of cannibalisation into a manageable driver of value”, says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, CEO of the aream Group.

Despite the expansion of solar and wind power, gas-fired power stations continue to dictate the market price for many hours of the year. “Renewables have already brought down the average price of electricity significantly,” says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, CEO of the aream Group. “At the same time, however, the gap between very expensive and very cheap electricity prices is widening significantly.” But there is a solution.

The expansion of renewable energy in Germany is making progress, and its share of electricity generation is growing, but the pace is still too slow. There is no guarantee that the expansion targets will be met. “This makes it all the more important to stick to these targets and step up the pace,” comments Andreas Ehrbar, Chief Operating Officer of the aream Group.

aream Group SE has brokered a long-term electricity supply contract for a project company within the Stadtwerke Halle group, which is managed by EVH GmbH.
