Energy-Storage.news proudly presents our webinar with GridBeyond, ‘Beyond Arbitrage: Financial Strategies for Energy Storage Assets.’

The energy storage market is at an inflection point. Physical market revenues alone can no longer sustain the business case that drove earlier waves of storage deployments. Financial sophistication is no longer optional; it’s the difference between marginal and exceptional performance.

As physical market revenues compress across US power markets, energy storage operators face a critical challenge; traditional arbitrage and ancillary service strategies are no longer sufficient to maintain target returns. As a result storage operators are increasingly turning to financial structures and hedging tools to stabilise and enhance profitability.
