Investing in Battery Energy Storage 2027

Battery storage is booming, but only the best-informed investors and developers will win-out in what is becoming an increasingly competitive market. Investment in battery storage will grow exponentially in the coming years, but as investors become more discerning about what projects they support, it’s vital that developers and lenders are aligned on the emerging trends in battery financing.

Debate is rife about issues such as grid connection reform and how this could negatively impact the viability of smaller-scale BESS assets, with investors instead considering larger assets with more diverse revenue streams and more innovative offtake structures. Meanwhile, many investors and lenders are shifting priorities and looking for assets in new territories due to market saturation as well as regulatory changes making batteries less investable in some geographies.

This event will ensure investors, lenders, and developers are up to speed with the latest financing trends and better-informed about the most attractive BESS markets.

It will also provide an opportunity for the energy storage developer and investment community to become better aligned on emerging investment opportunities including:

• co-located data centre and BESS projects,
• the most profitable new offtake structures,
• rapidly developing grid-forming battery markets and;
• evolving tolling structures that will maximise BESS’ appeal to investors

In addition, the event will give attendees the edge when it comes to offsetting the impact of negative power prices on CPPAs and optimising co-located BESS projects.
