Germany’s electricity mix is shifting rapidly. In the first half of 2025, renewables supplied ~61.5 % of Germany’s electricity generation. The country has set ambitious targets aiming for 80% of electricity from renewables by 2030. To reach such a scale, streamlined permitting, fast grid connection and integration of renewables into the system is critical. Hence it is not surprising that Germany's BESS capacity is ramping up with about 1.46 GW of new capacity forecast for 2025 alone.

At Eku we are actively engaging in Germany and we are well positioned to support the market with our expert team. Just earlier this week, Adam Carver, Senior Manager Commercial & Origination at Eku Energy, joined industry leaders at the 3rd BVES Investor Summit Europe 2025 in Berlin for the session “New Rules – New Roles: Batteries are Changing the Energy Game: Mitigating Risks and Shaping Returns via Fixed and Diversified Revenues.”

Representing Eku’s global perspective, Adam delivered a presentation titled “Global Case Studies: Reducing the Cost of Capital Through Diversified Contracting Structures.”

His key message was clear:

“Attracting a broad pool of investment in BESS is essential for accelerating the energy transition and reducing the cost to the end consumer.”

To achieve this, Adam highlighted the importance of contracting a diverse mix of offtake structures that align with customer needs — from fully contracted revenue models to hybrid and merchant approaches. This diversity, he noted, helps reduce project risk, lower the cost of capital, and ultimately enable faster deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS).

We look forward to building partnerships across Europe. Contact us to find out more.
