Electricity storage systems are becoming increasingly important for achieving the energy transition. "They are the crucial building blocks to keep grids and production stable", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "Storage can be used to increase renewable capacity even if no new plants are built."

The expansion of renewable energies is at the top of the political priority list in Germany. Accordingly, many large investors and institutional buyers consider the market to be attractive and are pushing into Germany. "However, market entry for newcomers is currently anything but easy", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "Because especially in times of scarcity, well-established networks are more important than money."

After the EU just agreed on a partial embargo for Russian oil, renewable energies showed in the past month that they consistently contribute their share to the energy supply. This year, May brought Germany plenty of sunshine: High air pressure made for a proverbial "merry month" and a very good solar power yield.

The current rapidly rising interest rates also affect the calculation of solar and wind parks. While new construction projects are calculated with the new interest rates but also higher yields, existing projects can benefit twice. "This normalization of the interest rate level goes hand in hand with a rising electricity price", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "Only those who have not secured the low interest rates until the end of the financing term will have problems."
