Ex-Fluence alumnus Marek Kubik sat down with Energy-Storage.news at last month’s Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London to talk big picture BESS technology trends, including energy density, LDES and sodium-ion.

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.
