Bebat environmental contribution for house batteries as of 1 January 2022

On 14 December 2021 we received the attached letter from Bebat concerning the introduction of an environmental contribution as of 1 January 2022. In brief, as of 01/01/2022, for deliveries we are obliged to charge an environmental contribution of €2.39/kg of lithium-ion battery, when it is going to be used for an ESS system.

For example, a Pylontech battery US2000C weighs 22.5 kg, and so a contribution of €53.80 will be charged for it.

You can learn more about this in the attached letter.

We keenly regret this late communication on the part of Bebat, as well as the level of the contribution to be charged, but unfortunately we too are confronted with a fait accompli here.
