Industry Transition Despite insolvency and shutdown in 2025, HPS was a notable player in renewable energy storage with hydrogen-based and lithium storage solutions. Potential opportunities exist in complementary technologies or service partnerships for customers who previously engaged with HPS, including retrofit or migration pathways to more sustainable storage systems.

Awarded Credibility HPS has earned recognition such as the Handelsblatt Energy Award and Berlin-Brandenburg Innovation Award, plus DGNB Sustainability Challenge mentions. Leverage these accolades to approach project developers, energy refurbishments, and green building initiatives seeking proven track records and third-party validation.

Product Evolution Recent launches include Picea 2 with upgraded seasonal storage, higher capacity, and safety features, as well as hydrogen-based Picea versions. This points to a market interest in scalable, modular storage with safety and performance gains, suggesting sales pitches around advanced storage for residential and small commercial customers.

Strategic Expertise The addition of Stefan Kaufmann as a storage expert and the presence of a technical team with background in LabVIEW, SOLIDWORKS, and other engineering tools indicate a depth of R&D capability. Target opportunities could include collaborations on custom storage integrators, engineering services, or pilot projects with utilities or EPCs.

Geographic Focus Headquartered in Berlin with a multi-weekly track record across Germany, the company (and its successors or partners) may align with regional demand for innovative energy storage, building a case for local partnerships, incentives, and DGNB-aligned projects in central and northern German markets.
