Learning from the UK: What’s shaping future battery revenues in Germany?

Using Montel’s price and battery models, we explore how battery revenues may evolve under different market expansion scenarios.

Europe’s battery storage boom is moving fast - but so are its growing pains. In the UK, battery capacity has surged beyond profitable levels, driving competition, volatility, and thinner margins. With record project pipelines, some observers warn it could see a similar saturation to what we see in the UK.

In this session, our analysts unpack the data behind saturation dynamics: what happens when flexibility becomes abundant? How do price spreads, balancing opportunities, and ancillary revenues evolve - and what lessons can developers, investors, and traders take from the UK to prepare for Germany’s next phase?

Themes covered in the webinar

  • What the UK developments reveal: A qualitative look at how market dynamics have shaped the UK’s battery revenue landscape in recent years. The discussion explores how factors such as the evolving generation mix, changing price patterns, and growing competition have influenced value creation for storage assets.By comparing the UK’s experience with emerging trends in Germany, we’ll highlight key takeaways on how revenue opportunities shift as markets mature.

  • Impact of different battery deployment paths on the German power market: How would market segments and price patterns evolve under varying battery expansion scenarios? A sensitivity analysis of market responses to different deployment pathways.

  • Outlook for battery revenues:
    How sustainable are today’s battery revenues in the German market? Is the gold rush coming to an end – and what would that mean for developers and investors?
