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.

It’s high time for an EU Battery Storage Action Plan
Global deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is accelerating at an unprecedented pace – with world installations projected to expand swiftly in the coming years. While the European Union experienced a sluggish growth in BESS deployment in 2024, it is poised for a bounce back in 2025. However, absent bold and decisive policymaking, the EU risks falling considerably short of the scale required to meet its climate and energy targets, writes Antonio Arruebo, market analyst at Solar Power Europe.
From factory to field: How energy storage innovations are responding to Europe’s C&I segment
The growth of the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment in Europe’s energy storage market is driving new investment opportunities. Bonn-based EUPD Research has explored what this growth means for both manufacturers and investors, as well as how manufacturers are addressing the needs of C&I installers and customers.
