EV batteries drive the energy transition: Roland Berger study shows high potential of decentralized energy in Germany
Elli – a brand of the Volkswagen Group – together with an alliance of leading energy companies presents a new study about decentralized energy solutions. Technologies like electric vehicles, solar power systems, home storage systems, and heat pumps can save the German energy system up to €255 billion by 2045. This corresponds to around €13 billion per year in added value – a key lever for a secure, independent, and cost-efficient energy transition. Roland Berger’s analysis shows that Germany can only achieve both energy supply security and overall cost efficiency through the combination of large-scale centralized power plants and decentralized energy technologies.
