A Fraunhofer IEE study commissioned by BSW-Solar finds that using 60 GW/240 GWh of smart battery energy storage systems at existing substations in Germany could unlock an additional 150 GW of solar PV capacity by better managing transformer loads and reducing curtailment.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy, and 2 sources have reported it between 21 Sep 2026 and 24 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can use battery storage at substations to unlock large unused solar capacity and avoid costly grid upgrades. Prioritize developing or integrating storage tech that shifts power away from peak loads on transformers.
