Insights into the Energy Market

KB.energy has developed a battery storage system that has been optimised in terms of technology and operational design. suena energy is responsible for optimizing the project.

2026 is likely to be defined less by a single ‘upheaval’ and more by a series of clearly discernible shifts that have already been building up in recent months. The following three trends show what project developers, operators, investors and marketers will need to pay particular attention to in 2026 and why technical design alone is no longer sufficient.  

The innovation tenders under the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) have established the term “green electricity storage” within the industry. If a project is awarded a contract, the support significantly improves the economic profile of a green electricity storage system; however, it becomes truly interesting where projects must be viable even without an award.

suena energy and Münch Energie are working closely together to rethink solar power marketing—with modern trading approaches, transparent communication, and a clear focus on economic efficiency. Today, the partnership comprises eight solar parks with a combined output of 218 MWp.

suena energy CEO and Co-Founder Lennard Wilkening was invited by "BESSt of BESS" host Maximilian Hüls to be part of the newest episode. Together they discussed the role of battery storage in the energy system, the current state of the market and new business models.

With terralayr’s new “Enhanced Trading of Flexibility” model, suena energy is entering a technically demanding environment. For the first time, multiple optimizers are accessing the same storage asset in parallel — an approach that challenges existing market logics and expands technological boundaries.

Wind energy is growing in Germany, but grid bottlenecks and volatile prices are hampering its potential. Battery storage systems provide a remedy: they store surpluses, stabilize feed-in and open up new sources of revenue. The right structure and marketing of co-location projects are crucial for success.

Hamburger Hochbahn AG and suena energy are jointly implementing a pilot project: a stationary battery storage system that both optimizes self-consumption and actively participates in the electricity market.
