A 2-hour BESS in France could have generated €1.4 Million annually under April price conditions
Calendar April 30, 2025

Recent analysis from our Storage Index reveals that a 2-hour Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in France could have earned up to €1.4 million per year if price conditions observed on April 15–16 had remained consistent throughout the year. This figure marks a substantial increase compared to the average €280k/MW annual revenue, based on the latest market data.

What drove this spike? During these two days, the French TSO encountered significant grid balancing challenges, leading to a sharp rise in ancillary services prices.

These are exactly the kinds of high-impact market dynamics that our Storage Index, powered by our in-house simulation tool COSMOS, is built to capture and analyze.
