Webcast
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy's (BMWK) discussion paper on the “electricity market design of the future” is on the table. An important point of the paper is the expansion of the capacity (market) component. Although the merit order is to remain the basis for electricity pricing in the future, capacities and capacity pricing models will become increasingly more important in a future electricity market if the discussion paper becomes reality. This makes new business opportunities for market participants possible.
In our Deloitte Legal Update Webcast on October 9, 2024, we will present the state of the discussion according to the BMWK paper and explain the options relevant to the use of electricity storage.
We will then outline the current legal framework for the use of electricity storage.
How extensively is the use of electricity storage regulated? What relevant standards are there? What are the legal difficulties and obstacles? And what are the possible applications and business opportunities? These are the questions we aim to answer in our webcast.
The main topics of our webcast include:
- Market role of electricity storage
- Grid usage charges and other ancillary costs for electricity storage
- The approval situation for electricity storage
- Grid connection and grid access for electricity storage
- Grid services and new business models
- Remuneration for electricity storage use
- Rights and obligations of electricity storage operators under the EnWG
- Unbundling requirements for electricity storage operators
- Electricity storage as critical infrastructure.
After the webcast, there will be an opportunity for an in-depth discussion with our energy law experts, Torsten Wielsch and Rebecca Gulden.
Register today and feel free to take the opportunity to send us your questions in advance so that we can take them into account during our webcast.
We look forward to your participation.
