Bundesnetzagentur issues determination on market integration of electricity storage facilities and charging points (MiSpeL)

Year of issue 2026
Date of issue 2026.10.01

The Bundesnetzagentur has today issued the determination on the market integration of electricity storage facilities and charging points (MiSpeL).

“The market is eagerly awaiting the MiSpeLMarket integration of electricity storage facilities and charging points determination. It will activate countless large and small electricity storage facilities as well as charging points for the electricity system. This will enable millions of interested households to shape the energy transition proactively,” said Bundesnetzagentur President Klaus Müller. “The bidirectional use of charging points will help electromobility and the electricity system. We have adjusted the rules again to make the simplifications and flat-rate options even more accessible to charging points. This will allow Germany to become a pioneer in bidirectional charging.”

Improvement in the market integration of storage facilities and charging points

Up to now, green electricity and electricity from the grid have had to be strictly separated in storage facilities. Only storage facilities using exclusively green electricity could receive support under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Bidirectional charging points used both for charging electric vehicles and for feeding electricity from the cars back into the grid, in a similar way to electricity storage facilities, were excluded. The MiSpeL determination overcomes these rigid boundaries. Prosumers and companies active in the market can use their electricity storage facilities and charging points to their own advantage, helping the electricity market and, at the same time, the integration of renewable energy.
