Batteries are emerging as one of the big winners from Europe’s increasingly volatile power markets.
In this episode, we look at how huge amounts of solar generation are driving down midday power prices before sharp evening peaks create opportunities for battery storage.
The discussion explores who profits from these price swings, whether batteries could begin to displace gas-fired generation, the shift towards larger and longer-duration storage, and whether a rapidly expanding battery fleet could eventually flatten the very volatility it profits from.
We also look ahead to what Europe’s battery boom could mean for power prices, grid investment and the shape of the energy system by 2030.
