e2m market newsletter 8/23

Project developer MaxSolar and flexibility marketer Energy2market (e2m) have signed a seven-year hybrid power purchase agreement (hybrid PPA). The combined power purchase agreement covers the marketing of a 45-MWp solar park and a 20-MW battery storage system with a capacity of 40 MWh in Waren (Müritz), Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The solar farm began operations in the summer of 2026, with the battery storage facility following in September 2027. The solar farm and battery storage facility are designed as a co-location project and share a common grid connection via their own substation.

Negative electricity prices and the 6-hour rule (Section 51 EEG) are putting increasing economic pressure on existing PV systems. Our white paper shows how co-location solutions with green energy storage systems can reduce market premium losses, optimize revenues and stabilize project returns. With a reference model, business case, regulatory overview and financing options. Find out more now and secure potential.

BET Consulting GmbH (BET) and Energy2market GmbH (e2m) present the BESS Co-Location Index, a new, freely accessible market index that transparently quantifies the daily added value that battery storage systems can achieve when operated together with photovoltaic systems. BESS co-location – the combination of PV system and battery storage at one location – is considered to be one of the most important trends for 2026 and 2027.

On November 21, Martin Dotzauer, Product Manager Biogas at e2m and independent consultant, presented his findings during a workshop at the Bioenergy Status Conference once again presented the results of the study published in April entitled “The Value of Flexible Bioenergy“, this time supplemented by initial updated estimates for the year 2024.

In PV Magazine, Christof Petrick shows how the combination of PV systems with green energy storage systems can open up new revenue potential and why flexibility is becoming a decisive competitive factor.
