Saxony-Anhalt: Battery storage support program

Depending on their size, companies receive 30 to 50 percent funding for storage systems, management software, and planning services, which cuts the investment’s payback period in half. With a budget of 11 million euros, the state of Saxony-Anhalt is providing targeted support for the efficient grid integration of green energy for private and public entities.

Until November 29, 2024, companies in Saxony-Anhalt applications for the Battery storage support program submit. The "Saxony-Anhalt STROMSPEICHER" funding program was launched to support investments in the storage of electricity from renewable energy sources. It is aimed at companies and local authorities in Saxony-Anhalt and aims to increase the proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources in the energy system.

The funding is intended to enable the efficient integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid. The non-repayable subsidy helps to reduce the costs of purchasing and installing energy storage systems, thereby promoting the use of green energy.

Subject of the battery storage funding program

Funding is provided for investments in stationary, electrochemical Large-scale battery storage with a storage capacity from 30 kWhthat are at least 75 % Electricity from renewable sources storage. This includes both the storage systems themselves and the necessary Battery management system and the Storage inverter. Also Planning serviceswhich can account for up to 20 % of total expenditure, are subsidized.

Up to 50 % funding possible

The battery storage funding program in Saxony-Anhalt provides for a graduated funding rate based on the size of the company. Small companies receive a subsidy of 50 % of the eligible costsmedium-sized companies are supported with 40 %, and large companies and legal entities under public law receive funding of 30 %.

Selection criteria for the battery storage funding program

In general, private and public companies as well as other legal entities, such as municipalities, can apply for funding. Funded projects are selected on the basis of several criteria, with the greatest focus on the contribution to Reduction of CO₂ emissions is located. Further selection criteria are the Conveying efficiencywhich Company size and the reference to renewable energies and aspects of Sustainability and environmental protection. The aim is to prioritize projects that make a particularly effective contribution to achieving climate targets.

11 million euros available for the battery storage funding program

The total amount of the battery storage funding program is as follows 11 million euroswhich can be applied for until November 29, 2024. Interested companies and municipalities should therefore hurry up with their application. It is particularly important to pay close attention to the funding requirements. These include, in particular, the minimum requirements for storage capacity and the proportion of stored electricity from renewable sources.

Submit applications for the battery storage funding program now

Companies and local authorities in Saxony-Anhalt should act quickly now and not miss out on the opportunities offered by the "Saxony-Anhalt STROMSPEICHER" funding program. The provision of up to 50 % of funding for investments in storage technologies offers an attractive opportunity to increase your own energy efficiency and at the same time make a significant contribution to climate protection. This cuts the already short ROI of battery storage systems in half.
