Our Energy Transition Series continues to bring you leading global content to support your energy transition journey.

During this session we explored the financing landscape for battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects across the UK and Continental Europe. Key trends from the discussion included:

  • BESS remains one of the most attractive energy transition asset classes, with investors and lenders continuing to deploy significant capital supported by increasing market maturity.
  • Financing structures are evolving, with a broader mix of debt, private capital and institutional investment supporting projects across different stages of development.
  • Growing power demand, increasing volatility and renewable integration requirements continue to underpin strong long-term fundamentals for the storage sector.
