Germans are working hard at it. Germany's utility scale battery may grow 27 times and transform the grid and power generation everywhere. If all battery projects in the pipeline are completed, Germany's storage may go from 2.7 GWh to 200 GWh. www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Fast unbemerkt vollzieht sich im deutschen Stromnetz eine Revolution. Die Gesamtkapazität aller Batteriegroßspeicher könnte um den Faktor 27 wachsen – und damit das Stromsystem verändern.
