As the shape of the battery energy storage landscape evolves, so do markets and the opportunities for strategic investment.

Today we are revisiting and episode from April 2022 with Ben Guest - Managing Director and Lead Fund Manager at Gresham House New Energy. Ben has helped shape the BESS landscape in Great Britain and oversees the largest BESS portfolio in Great Britain. Over the course of the conversation, Quentin and Ben discuss:

• The history and evolution of markets for batteries in Great Britain.
• Which elements of the battery energy storage model are most mature (and which are lagging behind).
• Why floor price contracts don’t make sense from an investment point of view.
• The increasing complexity of specialist BESS optimisation.
• and much, much more.
