Listen to Philipp Man on BESSt of BESS 

The German BESS market is at a crossroads. While the technical need for storage has never been higher, regulatory shifts, specifically the debate around retroactive grid fee exemptions, threaten the very investment security the energy transition depends on.

In this episode of BESSt of BESS, host Maximilian Hüls sits down with our CEO and Founder, Philipp Man, to discuss why Deutschland needs a stable framework to remain a competitive infrastructure hub.

From his journey scaling CHRONEXT to building one of Europe’s fastest-growing energy companies, Philipp shares his perspective on why virtualising assets is the only way to future-proof the sector.

Inside the episode:

• Why retroactive grid fee changes (Netzentgeltbefreiung) could permanently damage investor trust in German infrastructure.
• Why tolling structures are becoming the gold standard for utility-scale BESS and how they de-risk portfolios.
• A deep dive into how our "AWS for Power" platform aggregates and virtualises storage capacity for the modern market.
• How terralayr balances being a physical asset developer with a software-driven flexibility provider.
