BESS Route-to-Market: New Models and Impact of Regulatory Challenges on Bankability
Join us for our half-day event on ‘BESS Route-to-Market: New Models and Impact of Regulatory Challenges on Bankability’, taking place on 18 November 2025 in Frankfurt.
Germany is experiencing a surge in interest around Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), positioning them as a key pillar of the energy transition. Yet, while the market gains momentum, standardised route-to-market contracts are still in their infancy. Initial agreements based on UK-style templates are entering the scene, but without careful alignment to the German regulatory framework, they risk legal pitfalls and challenges to bankability. What does this mean for investors, developers and lenders? How can risks be managed effectively while ensuring compliance and financial viability?
Join us for an insightful discussion with leading experts on approaches to shaping robust, future-oriented contract models for BESS in Germany, bringing in latest insights from the UK market. This event is designed to help utilities, funds, financial institutions and asset owners.
KEY TOPICS
- regulatory challenges and their impact on credit structures;
- grid connection: A critical factor in project development and transactions;
- transition in Tolling Agreements; and
- perspectives from lenders and legal experts.
Details and speaker line-up will be announced in early November. Please note: the event will be held in English.
Be part of the conversation – and help shape the future of energy storage.
We kindly ask you to register your interest in attending this in-person event via the ‘Register your interest’ button or by emailing events_germany@wfw.com at your earliest convenience and no later than Monday 10 November. Attendees will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.
