Sahand Karimi and Henry Swisher of OptiGrid examine the two primary metrics used to evaluate the performance of battery storage trading: normalised revenue and percentage of perfect capture rate.

Aurora Energy Research has released its latest battery storage performance data, showing mixed revenue for storage across Australia’s NEM.

In an upcoming conversation with Energy-Storage.news Premium and Optimisation platform provider Ascend Analytics, CEO Dr. Gary Dorris PhD, discusses the ‘roller coaster’ revenues of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market.

The recent introduction of 15-minute settlement periods across European power markets could result in significantly higher profits for battery storage asset operators.

Battery energy storage systems in Australia’s NEM are facing new operational and revenue challenges due to minimum system load events.

A “silver buckshot, not a silver bullet” has emerged as the rallying cry for Australia’s energy storage, said Paul Hunyor of Wollemi Capital.

Battery storage equipped with optimisation platforms not specifically designed for Australia’s NEM missed revenue opportunities during the 10 October price spike, according to Sahand Karimi, co-founder and CEO of OptiGrid.

Battery energy storage revenues in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) fell 61% in September 2025 to AU$85,000/MW (US$56,712/MW) as price volatility eased across the grid, according to new research from Modo Energy.

Several Chinese companies active in the energy storage space have recently released their financial reports for H1 2025, with the majority posting strong growth. Their energy storage business segments have been a key driver of that growth.

Sahand Karimi, CEO of OptiGrid, tells ESN Premium that the majority of BESS projects in the NEM “rarely go fully contracted”.
