Terralayr has made headlines recently with its BESS aggregation tolling platform, executing long-term tolls in Germany with big power firms RWE and Vattenfall, but how unique are these deals in reality?
Owner-operator Eco Stor has connected what it claimed is the largest BESS in Germany to the grid, while its former majority owner is going to build a BESS in Finland.
Germany is regularly described as Europe’s hottest market for energy storage, but its current regulatory framework is holding it back and changes down the line are also a concern.
Utility and power generation firm RWE will trade 50MW/100MWh of BESS capacity in Germany from the virtual aggregation platform of startup Terralayr under a five-year agreement.
FlexBase Group will start construction on a data centre plus 800MW/1,600MWh flow battery in Switzerland the coming weeks, the firm claimed, explaining to Energy-Storage.news how and why.
Regulators in Germany are considering two big reforms that could improve the business case for BESS, while developer-operator Green Flexibility has announced its first major project.
