More and more battery storage systems in operation in Saxony

Funding opportunities for electricity storage

There are various funding opportunities for private individuals, homeowners' associations, associations and companies in Saxony for the purchase of electricity storage systems. Funding is available for storage systems that are coupled with a photovoltaic system with a maximum output of between 30 and 1,000 kilowatts.

In contrast, there is no funding for large battery storage systems, so-called stand-alone systems. "In our view, this is also not necessary, as we believe that there is generally a business case for such projects even without funding," said the Ministry of Economic Affairs. An economic benefit is assessed in a so-called business case.
