1. What caused BESS revenues to decline in 2023 & is a recovery underway?

We discuss key drivers of the 2023-24 BESS revenue stack contraction e.g. gas price & power demand declines. We explore differences between the DE & NL revenue stack and look at the Q2 2024 recovery and whether it is sustainable.
