Fast-Track Your Battery Project: Flexible Connection Agreements in Germany
Battery projects in Germany face major grid bottlenecks, but Flexible Connection Agreements (FCAs) offer a fast pass to connection.
In this video, we explore how Flexible Connection Agreements help developers skip the queue by accepting real-time import and export capacity limits. We explain how these contracts, anchored in the Renewable Energy Act and Energy Industry Act, manage local grid congestion. You will learn how accepting static or dynamic limits during peak hours impacts revenue stacking, dispatch optimisation, and potentially reduces your one-off Baukostenzuschuss payment.
We also demonstrate how you can model your specific FCA setup in Gridcog using a co-located solar and battery project. We compare a static grid connection base case against scenarios with import and export constraints, showing how to model discounted CAPEX and seasonal export schedules. Watch how the platform handles these constraints, allowing the battery to absorb surplus solar generation and helping you make the best commercial decisions for your project.
💡 Gridcog's platform enables advanced modelling of co-located storage projects, supporting smarter investment decisions, maximised revenue, and transparent regulatory compliance.
