Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a defining feature of Europe’s evolving power markets. As price volatility persists, renewable penetration increases, and system flexibility gains strategic importance, batteries are moving from a complementary technology to a core component of power markets and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) strategies.  

Taking place on Tuesday, 3 February, at 14:00 CET, PPA Market trends in focus: will 2026 be the year of BESS? is a live webinar examining how recent developments in European power and PPA markets are shaping the commercial and strategic outlook for battery storage. Through a review of 2025 market dynamics and a forward-looking assessment of BESS deployment, this session explores whether 2026 represents a structural turning point for the BESS business case.
