Juan Ceballos, Trina Storage head of sales for Europe, tells ESN Premium how one of solar’s big players aims to become a major presence in energy storage.

Renewco Power and Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure will develop and build a pipeline of BESS projects in Spain.

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

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).

The start of 2025 has seen new and updated BESS revenue indexes launched for Germany as well as other other European markets, by optimiser enspired and consultancies Clean Horizon, Aurora Energy Research and LCP Delta.
