Hype and hard truths: Energy storage and hydrogen in Europe

In this episode, we cover the latest developments in hydrogen, energy storage, and grid infrastructure across the UK and Europe.

We begin with a focus on hydrogen, examining new project acquisitions, financial restructuring efforts, and updates from the UK government's consultations. 

We then reflect on key takeaways from our recent Energy Storage Summit, where industry participants debated the effectiveness of tender-led versus merchant market models. Drawing on comparisons between the UK, Germany, and Italy, we explore how different markets are attracting investment and securing long-term revenues for battery storage projects.

Finally, we examine the state of the UK’s grid infrastructure, including recent planning approvals, new funding mechanisms, and regulatory reforms.
