Envision Energy’s director of energy storage solutions, Michael Koller, speaks with Energy-Storage.news at Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London, UK.

Utility and power firm Munch Energie is putting five large-scale BESS projects online in Germany. 

The price of BESS has fallen steadily in the past few years, but recent events look set to slow or event reverse that trend at least in the short term. Video interviewees at last month’s Energy Storage Summit 2026 shared their views on the topic.

UK battery storage projects won a combined 1.8GW of capacity market (CM) obligations across the T-1 and T-4 auctions.

A total of 6.9GW/17.1GWh of grid-scale BESS came online last month, as per the most recent figures from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.

Terna, the transmission system operator (TSO) of Italy, has approved the grid connection for a 500MW/3GWh BESS project. Meanwhile several smaller projects have progressed across the rest of Europe.

Executives from BW ESS, R.Power and Econergy, IPPs building large-scale BESS across Europe and Australia, recently sat down for video interviews at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London.

Western system integrators face a continual ‘squeeze’ in where they add value in BESS and may struggle to keep up with the speed of technology innovation from China, Rept’s Andy Tang said in a video interview with Energy-Storage.news recently.

We hear about the progress made and challenges ahead at the policy level from Jacopo Tosoni of the trade association Energy Storage Europe.

European IPP R.Power’s head of BESS and CCO sat down with Energy-Storage.news at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 last month for a video interview to discuss the firm’s storage activity and approach to procuring technology.
