NESO expects winter electricity margins to remain secure this season. The early winter 2026/27 view forecasts a 5.5GW surplus and an 8.8% buffer, with tighter periods most likely in January.
-
Power Electronics has reached 170GW of installed AC power worldwide. The milestone reflects growth across solar, storage, data-centre, and power-conversion applications as grid-forming capability and resilient inverter supply become more central to energy infrastructure.
-
Europe’s installed storage capacity has moved beyond nuclear power capacity. The latest market monitor places cumulative storage above 100GW and shows the scale of pumped hydro, lithium-ion batteries, and new utility-scale deployment.
-
Flower and ENGIE have agreed long-term German battery flexibility contracts. The seven-year arrangement covers 126MW of BESS-backed capacity and supports the financing, deployment, and commercialisation of storage projects in Hamburg and Saxony-Anhalt.
-
European battery storage installations are forecast to accelerate by 2030. SolarPower Europe expects utility-scale projects to drive growth, although deployment remains below the level needed for the EU’s security, competitiveness, and climate objectives.
-
CATL has launched sodium-ion storage for large-scale European grid projects. The TENER platform is designed for utility applications where temperature tolerance, supply-chain resilience, safety, and long asset life are central design requirements.
