The offtake market for BESS in Australia is heating up - and increasingly moving away from the traditional toll.
Virtual tolls, revenue swaps and firmed PPAs all offer alternative routes to long-term contracted revenues, with greater flexibility.
These are helping 2025 be a bumper year for BESS.

Fresh on bluesky, here are some of my favourite podcast episodes I've recorded recently.
First up, Elias Saba from Eku Energy on the global state of battery energy storage and whether this is flowing through to the Australian market.
