Unlike other advanced markets for utility-scale BESS where a wave of smaller sub-10MW projects leads to later waves of project twice or even ten times as large, project sizes in Germany remain relatively small. Around 77% are below 10MWh, although the authors noted that multiple projects of over 200MWh are announced for future deployment.
