We held a half-day event on ‘BESS Route-to-Market: New Models and Impact of Regulatory Challenges on Bankability’ on 18 November 2025 in Frankfurt.
Germany is experiencing a surge in interest around Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), positioning them as a key pillar of the energy transition. Yet, while the market gains momentum, standardised route-to-market contracts are still in their infancy. Initial agreements based on UK-style templates are entering the scene, but without careful alignment to the German regulatory framework, they risk legal pitfalls and challenges to bankability. What does this mean for investors, developers and lenders? How can risks be managed effectively while ensuring compliance and financial viability?
We had an insightful discussion with leading experts on approaches to shaping robust, future-oriented contract models for BESS in Germany, bringing in latest insights from the UK market. This event was designed to help utilities, funds, financial institutions and asset owners.
