SECURING THE POST-EEG ERA

BATTERY STORAGE FOR RETROFITTING – STRENGTHENING THE FUTURE OF PV & WIND

agile team works creative together on new ideas

Many PV and wind projects will lose support between 2026 and 2030 – at the same time, negative price hours are increasing, marketing risks are growing, and § 51 EEG leads to remuneration losses during periods of negative market prices.

With long-standing experience in developing future-proof energy projects, we support asset owners, operators, and institutional investors in guiding PV and wind sites into the post-EEG era in an economically viable way – through targeted retrofitting with battery storage systems and flexible marketing models.

Together, we create economic stability, new value potential, and robust business models that remain resilient even under volatile market conditions.

EARLY BRANDS Innovation & Technology Consultants supports you as an independent partner, from site assessment and economic analyses to regulatory classification and coordination of the technical and financial implementation of battery storage projects. In close collaboration with selected technology and implementation partners, quickly deployable and economically sound concepts are created – individually or across a portfolio.

Catch the Future

IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES WITH BATTERY STORAGE FOR PV & WIND

Whether for stable revenues, efficient marketing, or the optimization of existing sites: the post-EEG era will not succeed without flexible storage solutions. The opportunities around battery storage and flexibility are diverse – use them to make your PV and wind projects future-proof and economically attractive.

IDENTIFY AND LEVERAGE FLEXIBILITY POTENTIAL

Battery storage makes volatile generation flexibly usable and opens up new marketing options – from arbitrage to the optimal use of positive price hours.

CREATING ADVANTAGES THROUGH RETROFITTING

By adding storage to existing parks, revenue losses during negative prices can be avoided and market opportunities can be tapped in a targeted way.

UNLOCK ECONOMIC POTENTIAL

Targeted storage integration stabilizes cash flows, reduces risk premiums in PPAs, and increases site value – individually or across a portfolio.

LEVERAGING VALUE POTENTIAL

Shifting surplus electricity over time, improving direct marketing, increasing grid-connection utilization: storage systems enhance the profitability of existing assets.

CREATE RESILIENCE

Storage systems minimize revenue volatility, secure marketability even during uncertain market phases, and support technical stability through co-location.

SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITIES OF DIGITAL CHANGE

AI-supported marketing, intelligent dispatch models, and automated optimization enable precise, revenue-oriented operations.

STRATEGIC RETROFITTING – THREE STEPS TO IMPLEMENTATION

With our approach for municipal utilities, we quickly create clarity, priority and implementation perspectives for relevant areas of opportunity relating to flexibility, energy storage and system-supporting innovation.

ANALYSIS & POTENTIALS

We create clarity on profitability and site potential – from revenue risks due to negative prices to analysis of grid conditions, connection options, and § 8/§ 8a EEG. The basis is a systematic assessment of your PV and wind sites across the portfolio.

CONCEPT & VALIDATION

Together, we develop robust storage and marketing concepts – including optimal storage sizes, operating models, economic scenarios (IRR, cash flows, price risks), and validation with market and technology partners.

IMPLEMENT-ATION & SCALING

We support implementation with an open, practice-oriented approach – from technical planning and EPC to marketing and commissioning, as well as operation, monitoring, and performance optimization. Scalable for individual sites and portfolios.
