Large-Scale Battery Storage Cooperation Forum Phase 2
How can storage systems unlock their full market, grid, and system potential?
The strained grid‑connection situation is pushing grid operators to introduce new grid connection processes. The surge in grid‑connection approvals for storage systems is fueling concerns about potential market saturation. At the same time, new business opportunities are emerging, such as the provision of inertia and reactive power. Grid‑oriented storage operation – through flexible connection agreements (FCAs) or grid‑fee incentives is becoming increasingly imminent, with significant implications on grid impacts, cost allocation, and business models. All of this is unfolding amid several current regulatory reforms.
Key Areas of Action
In the coming months, the forum will focus on three key areas of action:
- Instruments for grid‑oriented storage operation
- Instruments for efficient grid connection
- Future market potentials of storage systems

Our methodological approach includes:
The forum is designed as a practical, solution-oriented format. Our methodological approach includes:
- Structured Exchange: We create a space for objective discussions and the joint development of solutions.
- Scientific Support: We contribute to finding solutions by providing in-depth scientific analyses of current issues.
- Solution Development: Our goal is to develop solutions which are supported by a majority of participants.
In addition, we will enter into dialogue with regulatory decision-makers and relevant associations.
