The 2025 Munich Battery Energy Storage Exhibition EES Europe (hereinafter referred to as the German Battery Exhibition) is scheduled to be held on May 7-8 at the New International Expo Center in Munich. It is held once a year. The organizer is the German Solar Energy Promotion Association. It has a long history of development since its establishment in 1991 and is one of the world’s three largest battery exhibitions.
A total of more than 700 companies from 41 countries and regions participated in the 2024 exhibition, among which the largest number of companies came from mainland China, accounting for 53.72%; followed by German local companies, accounting for 19.3%; and the third was Korean companies, accounting for 9%.
The 2023 Munich Battery Energy Storage Exhibition (EES Europe) in Germany will have an exhibition area of 100,000 square meters, 80,000 visitors, and 1,500 exhibitors and brands. One of the highlights is the special exhibition of Smart Renewable Energy. Other topics include photovoltaics (PV), new financing and business models for large-scale photovoltaic power plants, and the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic installations. 90% of exhibitors believe that the quality of EES Europe’s audience is much higher than other similar exhibitions. It is the solar energy exhibition with the best exhibition effect, the most professional audience, and the most complete industrial chain in the world. It is the preferred exhibition for exhibitors and visitors. Almost all the top exhibitors in the world attended the exhibition. As the solar energy industry fell into a trough, the exhibition was also affected, but compared with other similar exhibitions, the exhibition has further established its leading position.
market background
In 2022, due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia’s natural gas supply was significantly reduced, causing European energy prices to soar, which in turn pushed up European wholesale electricity prices. The EU’s average monthly wholesale electricity price reached a peak of more than 400 euros/MWh, an increase of 346% over the same period in 21.
Under this trigger, the high economic efficiency of household photovoltaic storage in Europe has been recognized by the market, and the demand for photovoltaic storage has started to grow explosively. The high economic efficiency of household photovoltaic storage in Europe has been recognized by the market, and the demand for photovoltaic storage has started to grow explosively.
According to the residential electricity price contract mechanism, the electricity prices of newly signed contracts will rise sharply in 2023, with the average electricity price being above 40 euros/MWh, an increase of 80-120% year-on-year. It is expected that high prices will continue to remain in the next 1-2 years, and the rigid demand for solar storage is clear.
Germany exempts household photovoltaic VAT and income tax, Italy’s household storage subsidy policy declines, and favorable policies continue. Germany’s household storage yield rate can reach 18.3%, considering that the subsidy payback period can be shortened to 7-8 years. In the long-term independent energy trend, the European household storage penetration rate will only be 1.3% in 2021, with broad room for growth, and the industrial, commercial and large storage markets will also grow rapidly.
