The energy storage market has undergone a fundamental shift, requiring new strategies to stay ahead. While FCR was once the primary revenue driver for BESS business cases, its profitability has steadily declined, leading to a greater reliance on the imbalance market—until recent changes, such as PICASSO and increasing flexibility oversupply, disrupted that model as well. This talk explores how revenue diversification and value stacking can help hedge against these evolving market conditions, ensuring profitability despite ongoing uncertainty.
