Recording from Tuesday, March 31, 2026 | Battery Business & Development Forum | Language: English | Duration: 81:02 .
Capital for battery storage is available — but it is becoming more selective. Starting with a European market outlook, this session brings together infrastructure funds, utilities, and mid-market investors to discuss where capital is flowing, how risk appetite is changing, and what developers need to deliver to secure funding today.
What you will discuss:
Which European markets are currently attracting capital — and which are being avoided
How institutional investors assess merchant risk, regulation, and pipeline quality
What typically makes investors walk away from a deal
What “investment-ready” means today for mid-sized BESS projects (e.g. 40–60 MW)
How smaller developers can access equity and scale into institutional capital
