Battery storage developer Kyon Energy is planning to implement storage projects with a volume of 600 MW. To this end, the company has entered into a partnership with project developer Obton. Energate spoke with Kyon managing director Florian Antwerp about the plans, economic prospects for large batteries and regulatory hurdles.

Large battery storage systems are an important pillar of the energy revolution and are becoming increasingly popular. But there are still a number of regulatory hurdles, says Florian Antwerpen, managing director of Kyon Energy, in an interview.

On March 15, the European Commission published the new proposal for the reform of the electricity market design. In doing so, it has sent a strong signal for expanding storage facilities in Europe and is increasing pressure at national level.
