Executives from BW ESS, R.Power and Econergy, three independent power producers (IPPs) building large-scale BESS across Europe and Australia, recently sat down for video interviews at the Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London.
The teams discussed the companies’ latest battery energy storage system (BESS) activity, trends in project financing and offtake, approaches to procurement and what might happen in the near-term with BESS prices.
