Battery energy storage systems (BESS) – Legal certainty for project developers and operators
Online seminar
VA26-01305
Participation fee: €745
The seminar language is German. Develop your battery storage project faster, more securely, and more economically—with this compact specialist seminar that covers all the essential legal, regulatory, and economic fundamentals. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are key to the energy transition; their success depends on correct planning, the appropriate approval process, and well-thought-out integration into the energy industry.
You will learn how battery storage systems can be approved for indoor and outdoor use in terms of planning law, which approval procedures are necessary, and when BImSchG (Federal Immission Control Act) or EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) obligations apply. You will also learn how to avoid pitfalls and efficiently navigate projects through the regulatory process.
In the energy management section, you will gain an overview of grid connection requirements, marketing strategies, and suitable metering concepts. A practical section on corporate structures—from project companies to infrastructure and property contracts—rounds off the seminar.

About the topic:
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a key component of the energy transition, but their successful deployment requires legally compliant planning, clear approval processes, and a sound understanding of energy industry requirements. The seminar provides a concise overview of the essential basics of planning and approval law, shows when battery storage systems are permitted indoors or outdoors, and which procedures—from exemption from approval to BImSchG (Federal Immission Control Act) or EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) requirements—really apply. In addition, participants gain practical insights into grid connection issues, marketing models, and suitable measurement concepts. The overview is rounded off by corporate structures that secure projects in the long term. This provides a holistic understanding of the successful development and operation of modern battery storage systems.
