Euro­pean uti­li­ty-sca­le bat­tery instal­la­ti­ons “ram­ping up” as solar can­ni­ba­li­sa­ti­on bites, Rystad finds

Euro­pean uti­li­ty-sca­le bat­tery instal­la­ti­ons are acce­le­ra­ting to address incre­a­sing elec­tri­ci­ty mar­ket vola­ti­li­ty and nega­ti­ve pri­ce events cau­sed by rapid solar expan­si­on. Ana­lysts high­light the need for more bat­tery stor­a­ge to coun­ter­act solar reve­nue can­ni­ba­li­za­ti­on, par­ti­cu­lar­ly in Ger­ma­ny. Flexi­ble net­works and stor­a­ge solu­ti­ons are essen­ti­al for balan­cing rene­wa­ble ener­gy growth and mar­ket sta­bi­li­ty.
