Speaking about this, Bernd Schulte-Sprenger, CEO of PASM, said that the current energy challenges in Europe "underline the need for investments in energy storage."
Schulte-Sprenger added: "This is key for the shift to renewable energy sources to proceed without unacceptable volatility. Battery energy storage systems are a key component in the transformation, and this marks our first big step in that direction."
