💬 Before The smarter E opened its doors, we brought together industry leaders and experts at our exclusive pre-event to discuss the topics of our latest whitepaper Shifting Perspectives. Our three deep-dive sessions on performance, bankability and system value were built on one conviction: as battery storage scales across Europe, the industry needs more nuanced answers to increasingly complex questions. ⚡ From FCAs to System Value – Rethinking Grid Constraints Marion Hübener (Entrix), Georg Gallmetzer (Eco Stor) and moderator Kai Riemenschneider (Entrix) discussed how FCAs are reshaping grid access and what this means for the future role of flexibility and storage. 📈 Performance, Unfiltered – What Your Optimizer Actually Delivers Sébastien Schikora (Entrix), Sebastian Kratz (TESVOLT), Ed Porter (Modo Energy), Eva Zimmermann (Aurora Energy Research) and moderator Wolfgang Ridinger (Entrix) challenged conventional performance metrics and debated what meaningful asset benchmarking should look like. 🏦 Bankability Isn’t Binary – What Really Makes BESS Bankable Felix Stephan, Constantin Nicklas (both Entrix), Eike Ahrens, CFA (Berenberg), Simon Freitag (green flexibility), Carl-Philip Kleine (DAL Deutsche Anlagen-Leasing) and Nikhil Koppaka (BW ESS) explored how revenue certainty, merchant exposure and financing structures need to evolve as the storage market matures. A huge thank you to all speakers, panelists and guests for making the discussions as open, honest and insightful as they were! Beyond the sessions themselves, some of the most valuable conversations continued during the evening part of our event, focused on networking while enjoying food and drinks overlooking Munich. A fitting start to a week dedicated to the future of battery storage. 📖 Continue the conversation and download our whitepaper Shifting Perspectives: https://lnkd.in/dxcQX975 #BeyondTrading #ShiftingPerspectives
