Europe’s battery storage sector could benefit from a reassessment of the accuracy, and usage, of revenue modelling.

BESS are a key facilitator of flexibility in a revenue stack, according to speakers at the 2026 Energy Storage Summit.

Fluctuating power prices in Europe present opportunities for BESS developers, according to speakers at the 2026 Energy Storage Summit.

Physical tolling agreements have become increasingly popular in Europe, according to experts at Energy Storage Summit 2026.

“We see energy storage as an opportunity for (data centres) to reduce their impact on the grid”, said Patrick Hughes, Senior VP of Operations and Strategy at NEMA.

Three energy storage projects have reached key milestones, including pumped hydro, thermal storage, and geothermal alternatives to battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Massachusetts’s Department of Energy Resources (DOER) has completed the evaluation of bids received in response to the Section 83E Storage request for proposals (RFP), selecting projects totalling 1,268MW of energy storage capacity.

Nostromo Energy’s IceBrick thermal energy storage (TES) technology will participate in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) wholesale energy market.

LG Energy Solution and Stellantis’ joint venture (JV), NextStar Energy, Canada’s first large-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery manufacturing plant, is expanding to produce energy storage system (ESS) batteries.

CEA has recently released two battery energy storage system (BESS) reports for Q2 2025, the Energy Storage System Price Forecasting Report and the ESS Supply, Technology, and Policy Report.
