Europe's largest utilities were the first to invest in battery storage on the continent more than a decade ago. Enel, RWE and Iberdrola mobilised their corporate balance sheets and in-house expertise — engineering, project construction, electricity market trading and asset management — to develop and operate the first generation of storage projects. These deployments then responded to strategic and technical imperatives, not commercial ones.
