Shifting global battery storage trends could open the door for European growth
Global investment in battery energy storage systems (BESS) is entering a new phase, moving from niche pilot projects to large-scale grid integration. Europe’s ability to translate lessons from the United States – in policy clarity, contracting, and hybridisation – will define how quickly the market reaches maturity, NORD/LB experts write.

Battery storage values reach record highs in ERCOT, Pexapark finds
Despite a significant decline in BESS revenues triggered primarily by the saturation of the anciliary services market, the revenue outlook for battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Texas' ERCOT is positive. Pexapark’s latest Q3 ERCOT Market Update report shows that the energy arbitrage value over the next 10 years has gained as much as 19% year-over-year.
India’s 4 GWh standalone battery storage tender yields tariffs of $2,220 – $2,268/MW/month
The selected developers will set up battery energy storage projects in Gujarat, connected to the intrastate transmission system, on a build–own–operate basis. They will make the storage capacity available to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd for charging and discharging on an “on-demand” basis.

Battery boost needed to solve India’s energy gridlock
India has made significant strides toward its goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel generation capacity by 2030. However, this progress could be undermined if more focus is not placed on the integration of renewables. Rystad Energy analyst Uttamarani Pati examines India’s progress on storage and transmission upgrades.
Stable, not volatile: How battery storage shapes electricity prices
The energy transition is facing a new challenge: rather than being determined by the total amount of energy generated, supply security is now dependent on its flexibility. The availability of electricity increasingly depends on when and where it is fed into or extracted from the grid, rather than on its overall production alone, writes Philipp Merk, founder and managing director of Kyon Energy.
Back in motion: Battery revenues surge as volatility returns
After a relatively slow couple of months, September brought back a more favorable trading environment for battery operators in Germany. Lennard Wilkening, CEO and Co-Founder of suena energy, unpacks what drove the rebound and why precision and the right strategy are set to matter even more as day-ahead trading transitions to 15-minute granularity.
Beyond revenue potential: Navigating the technical complexities of BESS optimisation
As competition in the battery energy storage system (BESS) sector intensifies, developers must navigate not only market volatility and price saturation but also complex operational factors that directly influence profitability. In our experience, focusing solely on projected revenues without accounting for technical and regulatory challenges can quietly erode long-term returns, write Edward Treloar and Anna Gerokostopoulou of Sympower.
