Battery storage is becoming a key technology for the energy transition

The European energy landscape is undergoing a profound change: the driver of this development is the ever-faster integration of renewable energy sources in order to reduce carbon emissions and achieve climate targets. Electricity storage systems play a central role in this process. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions to compensate for the disadvantages of renewable energies. These systems stabilize the power grid by storing energy when demand is low and releasing it during peak times.

Developing a successful business model for battery energy storage systems requires a deep understanding of how the end-to-end process works. This knowledge enables stakeholders to make informed decisions and make the most of the opportunities presented by the rapidly developing BESS market in Europe.

In the white paper “Empowering Europe’s Energy Future: Navigating the Lifecycle of Battery Energy Storage System Deals”, experts of PwC and Strategy&, the strategy consultancy of PwC, shed light on the entire life cycle of a BESS deal in Europe – from market analysis and site selection to revenue generation and long-term optimization.

“Technological advances and falling costs for battery storage have further increased the attractiveness of BESS for both investors and energy suppliers. This makes them a key technology for the future of energy supply.”
