Independent power producer (IPP) RWE has commissioned a 35MW/41MWh BESS in the Netherlands, while commissioning is progressing on a smaller system with grid-forming capabilities.

MW Storage has enlisted optimiser Entrix to commercialise 50MW/100MWh of the capacity of a project twice that size in the town of Arzberg, Germany.

With the price of BESS continuing to fall, there is an ongoing discussion in the industry around the limitations of manufacturer warranties and how analytics can unlock untapped revenues.

There is “huge potential” for commercial and industrial (C&I) battery systems in Germany’s wholesale trading markets, according to Tesvolt.

ESN Premium speaks with Anna Darmani, energy storage analyst at Wood Mackenzie, about Europe’s sector evolution.

As Europe’s BESS industry matures, project owner-operators are taking on more control – and risk – when it comes to procuring technology and services for their projects.

Germany and the UK are currently Europe’s ‘hottest’ markets for battery storage, but others present exciting opportunities, too.

“To toll or not to toll seems to be the question. Rather the question you should be asking is with whom and how much,” a panellist at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London said today (19 February).

RWE has commissioned 235MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Hamm and Neurath, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Industry experts discussed the varying approaches in Europe to procuring energy storage via long-term support schemes on Day One of Solar Media’s Energy Storage Summit 2025 in London, which kicked off today (18 February).
