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 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.

Optimal solar-plus-storage sizing for heavy industry operation
Australian researchers developed a high-resolution energy modeling framework to assess how PV and batteries can supply 24/7 electricity to heavy industries, considering cost, grid interaction, and load flexibility. They found that, while technology cost reductions help, smart grid integration and flexible industrial operations are far more effective in lowering electricity costs and enabling 100% renewable energy use.
