Battery storage in the UK energy market

This recording is our Q3 2025 quarterly valuation update. It covers the latest trends in the valuation of energy and infrastructure assets, then looks at battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the UK.

Battery storage projects can follow a wide range of revenue strategies, and the forecast curves behind them are volatile. That raises two questions for investors and valuers.

What you will learn

  • Current trends in the valuation of energy and infrastructure assets
  • Approaches to valuing BESS assets in the UK
  • How investors and valuers get comfortable with forecast cash flows for battery storage
  • How to decide on an appropriate discount rate
