Luke Witmer, VP of software engineering at Wärtsilä Energy Storage, explains why 2025 was an “awkward” year, but one that saw the industry grow taller than ever.
While the UK grid-scale BESS market continues to be among the busiest in Europe, there are still huge questions and plenty work to be done in several key policy areas.
The managing director of Bluestar Energy Capital’s European BESS platform Noveria Energy gave a Q&A to Energy-Storage.news ahead of the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London next month.
Lennart Hinrichs at TWAICE, discusses how the industry’s approach to battery analytics is changing, as part of our annual Year in Review series.
2025 saw genuinely large-scale BESS projects start construction in Germany, strengthening confidence among stakeholders. But significant challenges remain around grid connection, connection agreements and access to revenue streams, an operator said.
European energy independence is achievable if long-duration energy storage is factored into the mix, writes Oonagh O’Grady of Hydrostor.
We caught up with developer and IPP Greenvolt Power’s head of storage Antonio Montoto Rojo about the recent MACSE auction in Italy, where it won a contract for a 75MW BESS.
We hear from the co-founder and CEO of optimiser Suena Energy Dr. Lennard Wilkening about the evolution of BESS asset management in Europe, including the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).
The low level of the MACSE tariffs in Italy took everyone by surprise and will require careful asset management, but their relative value and those of the capacity market (CM) should increase over time.
BESS asset management in the UK has moved beyond the rudimentary ‘project delivery and basic O&M’ approach, a speaker at the upcoming Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland explained in a Q&A.
