3 · 3. Thermal energy storage. Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks

Energy storage systems benefit from the connection privilege for RES plants to the public grid. Electricity stored in a storage system qualifies for the feed-in premium (Marktprämie), which is granted to the plant operator under the Renewables Act 2017 (EEG 2017) once the electricity is fed into the public grid.

In line with this, the market for ESS is constantly growing. According to the German Energy Storage System Association (BVES), the industry grew by more than 10% to € 7.1bn ($ 8.2bn) in 2020.
