How can energy storage capitalise on energy price volatility in European markets, and how do investors need to think about future opportunities and challenges? An expert panel at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London in February dived into the topic.
How much long-duration energy storage (LDES) does the UK system need, is the government’s cap-and-floor the right way to procure it, and what does the long-term picture look like?
Developer-operator Green Capital and EPC firm Electrum Holding have signed an agreement to build an 80MW/320MWh BESS in Poland, under a full ‘wrap’ model.
Power firm EnBW is building a 100MWh BESS in Germany for completion this year (a year later than planned) while BESS platform Noveria Energy has signed a construction agreement with TSO TenneT for a 1GWh project for 2028 operations.
BESS platform Ingrid Capacity has received construction permits for two projects in Sweden’s SE4 electricity region which it said could start construction as early as this year.
Building BESS is complicated, with myriad considerations around supplier contracts, site acceptance tests, data analysis, interface between different contractors.
The attractiveness of the BESS market for M&A and investment, amidst a slowdown in activity, was discussed on a panel at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London.
