Storage facilities are becoming increasingly important for implementing the energy transition. "They serve to relieve the strain on the weak power lines and to maintain constant capacity," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. Storage facilities are still set up more as pilot projects, but as early as 2024, large, commercial storage facilities will be built. "These are the infrastructure for grid security and power supply, but also for new forms of electricity trading."

With the past September, another month has broken its heat record. The current year is on course to be the warmest since records began. "Just a few weeks before the next world climate conference, this is a clear sign that politicians must step up their climate protection efforts", comments Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "The last brakes on the expansion of renewable energies must be released now."

Europe's solar technology manufacturers are sounding the alarm: China is flooding the market with its dumping modules, they say, and thus endangering the local industry. Calls for government support and punitive tariffs are already being heard. "Politicians should act extremely cautiously here," warns Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "Because firstly, it is questionable whether there is any price dumping at all, and moreover, the cheap modules are a blessing for renewables in Europe."

The market for solar technology is once again abundant. Gone are the days of supply bottlenecks and material shortages. Instead, supply is pushing down prices, which is also making the construction of solar power plants more cost-effective. "The bottleneck in the expansion of photovoltaics is now the grid connection", explains Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.
