There is a “healthy pipeline of projects in development” across Europe’s energy storage sector, but the technologies are as yet “significantly underutilised” below their potential.
A week of claimed first-of-their-kind advances in Germany’s BESS market, including the combination of monitoring, diagnostics and energy trading on one platform, an optimisation deal allowing multiple companies to trade one asset, and a law change accelerating permitting.
The low prices and strict operational requirements in Italy’s recent MACSE auction for BESS have brought asset management and operational execution into the spotlight.
In a major week for European BESS deal-making, project acquisition and financing deals have been done in the Poland, Germany, Finland, the UK and Romania for grid-scale projects totalling well over 1GW of capacity.
The battery storage industry’s race for higher energy density should be put into a site-level perspective, rather than focusing solely on larger cells.
A year since the implementation of the initial steps in EU Batteries Regulation went into effect and the impacts are already being seen, writes Nicholas Bellini of TÜV SÜD.
We hear from the co-founder and CEO of optimiser Suena Energy Dr. Lennard Wilkening about the evolution of BESS asset management in Europe, including the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).
The EU Batteries Regulation came into force in 2023, but its various stipulations become law over the next several years. What does it mean for Europe’s BESS developers, operators and suppliers?
