The role of battery energy storage in a grid

As renewable energy penetration increases, the need for flexible and dispatchable energy assets becomes critical to maintaining grid stability and adequacy. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a leading solution, offering rapid response capabilities and grid-balancing services. Recent cost reductions in battery technology, coupled with the growing demand for flexibility, have driven widespread deployment across Europe. This talk will explore the key business cases and market drivers accelerating the adoption of BESS, highlighting their role in enabling a resilient and sustainable energy transition.
