backThe article – based on the King & Spalding event “Talk im Turm – Battery Storage as a New Asset Class” – highlights that battery storage systems are emerging as a highly attractive investment opportunity.
As renewable energy makes power supply more volatile, large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming increasingly important for balancing the grid. At the same time, they open up new revenue opportunities through electricity trading.
Investors currently benefit from strong returns due to limited storage capacity in the market, while demand and deployment of BESS are expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Key challenges include securing suitable grid connections and navigating regulatory changes.
Overall, battery storage is seen as a promising long‑term sector for the energy transition — and an emerging asset class for institutional investors. Cüneyt Andac, Counsel in the Frankfurt office, is quoted in the article.
