Hardly a year has seen as much regulatory movement for energy projects in Germany as 2027. The transition of the EEG to two-way contracts for difference, the Federal Network Agency's new AgNes grid fee system, and the grid package with the redispatch reservation are coming into effect virtually at the same time. And there are direct interactions between them. Anyone currently planning, financing, or operating a PV or BESS project is therefore not facing just a single reform. It is an interlocking package of subsidy law, grid fees, and grid connection rules.
Our whitepaper „Overview of reforms from 2027” explains these reforms clearly, specifies the concrete deadlines, and uses calculation examples to show what they mean for the profitability of your system. In addition, we examine two practical hurdles on the road to grid connection that are already relevant for BESS projects in 2026/27: Flexible Connection Agreements and the new maturity assessment procedure at the transmission grid level.
