2025/06/25

As Europe accelerates toward a low-carbon electricity system, storage is under the spotlight. But while battery deployments are scaling quickly, long-duration assets like pumped hydro remain a crucial part of the flexibility mix.So how do these technologies complement each other, and what’s really needed to make large-scale storage viable across different European markets?In this episode of Transmission, Ed talks with Lukas Gresnigt (Member of Executive Board) and Nadiya Vargola (Head of BESS

Carbon accounting underpins nearly every climate commitment and energy market, but today’s system often misses the mark. Most reporting is based on annual averages and generic certificates, ignoring when and where emissions are actually avoided. That mismatch creates blind spots for investors, policymakers, and clean energy developers alike.In this episode of Transmission, Quentin sits down with McGee Young, Founder & CEO at WattCarbon to explore how more accurate, time- and location-specific

2025/06/23

As the UK works toward a fully decarbonised power system by 2035, one thing is clear: hitting climate targets will require a more flexible electricity system. But that flexibility won’t just come from utility-scale batteries or grid-scale innovation. It will need support from consumers, households, businesses, and communities that can shift, shape, and reduce their electricity use.In this episode of Transmission, Ed Porter is joined by Marzia Zafar, Deputy Director of Governance for Data &

Building large-scale battery storage is much more than securing capital and selecting technology. Success hinges on navigating market rules, regulatory timelines, permitting, grid connection challenges, and talent gaps - each of which varies from one country to another. Developing in a single market can alreadt present complexity.

As electricity systems decarbonise, the role of national planners and system operators is going through a major shift. Strategic planning is no longer just about keeping the lights on. It now involves reshaping the grid to support high levels of renewable generation, growing electrification, and new sources of flexibility.

Europe is seeing a rapid increase in battery energy storage, but no two markets are quite the same. Each country presents its own blend of policy ambition, grid challenges, market structures, and investor appetite. For developers and capital providers, this means a highly fragmented landscape where understanding the local context is just as critical as getting the technology or financing right.In this episode of Transmission, we take a pan-European view of battery investment looking at how the

Battery energy storage is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of Australia’s evolving electricity system. As the National Electricity Market (NEM) transitions to accommodate rising renewable penetration, new policy mechanisms, and famously volatile prices, batteries are taking on a broader range of roles, from firming and arbitrage to frequency control and capacity support. But developing and operating storage in this environment requires more than just technology. It calls for strategic decision-making

As electricity systems decarbonise, the nature of flexibility is fundamentally shifting. Where grid operators once relied on fossil fuel generation to follow demand, today’s energy systems are increasingly turning to the demand side for flexibility. With more electric vehicles, heat pumps, and behind-the-meter batteries connecting to the grid every day, the potential for distributed assets to support reliability and earn revenue, is rapidly growing.But tapping into that flexibility at scale is no

As Europe’s energy markets become more volatile and complex, the role of trading and optimisation is evolving fast. Real-time weather data, cross-border constraints, and fluctuating renewable output have made flexibility more valuable than ever, but also harder to manage. In this new environment, the line between asset optimisation and active trading is blurring, and originators are increasingly expected to deliver not just access to market, but strategy, risk management, and scale.In this episode
