Solarplaza Summit | Energy Storage The Netherlands

This session sets out what DSOs can deliver in 2027: where capacity remains, which flexible connection agreements are available at the distribution level, and what a developer should establish about a site before committing capital.

This practical session examines where the Dutch BESS contract stack contradicts itself, how co-located and standalone projects differ when a flexible connection is involved, and what has been learned from the structures signed so far.

A data-led review of what Dutch batteries actually earned over the past year: the spread between top-quartile and median performance, how the revenue mix shifted across markets, and how much of it was structural rather than a closing window.

Two modelers with different views on Dutch spreads to 2030 present their central cases and the underlying assumptions, then cross-examine each other using the same set of questions.

This session sets out what each contract actually is, who qualifies, what you give up in exchange, and which of them a C&I site can realistically obtain in 2027.

A flexible contract is a promise to reduce your offtake on demand; a battery is what lets you keep that promise without shutting down the tenant's operation. The technical half of the story: how the BESS is sized against the contract, how quickly it has to respond, what the EMS needs to see, and what the owner gives up in return.

Where longer duration and alternative chemistries change the business case in the Dutch system, and where they remain a solution looking for a problem. An honest read on cost, maturity, and bankability in 2027.

This presentation explores the key trends shaping the energy transition and explains why large-scale battery energy storage systems are becoming an essential part of tomorrow's energy system.

Every Dutch BESS has a model behind it, and buyers rarely accept it as written. What development-stage, ready-to-build, and operating assets are actually trading at in 2027, and what discount do buyers apply to merchant revenue assumptions?

Most Dutch BESS business cases were built on assumptions that have now been tested in the first few years of operation.

One real C&I BESS project from start to finish: why it was built, how the CapEx was structured, what was agreed with the tenant, and what the numbers look like now that it is operating. Including the parts that went wrong.

Sub-10 MW projects are too small for infrastructure funds and too unusual for standard commercial lending, which leaves a financing gap exactly where most C&I projects sit. Who is lending into that gap in 2027, on what terms, and what a project has to look like to be fundable.
