Energy

Making energy storage more financeable

The rapid increase in generated wind and solar energy means that energy systems are constantly evolving. Due to the variability in the supply of sustainable electricity (the amount of wind and sun changes every hour), flexibility on the power grid is of great importance. Storage solutions such as batteries play a key role in this. In the market for Energy Storage Systems (ESS), there is therefore a lot of innovation, both in technologies and also in business models.

The impact of Invest-NL explained

With the publication of the 2023 annual report, we delve deeper into the subject of impact. Because how do you measure that? What does a more innovative and sustainable Netherlands mean?

Blended finance as a key to the transition to green hydrogen

Green hydrogen plays an important role in the energy transition, but development is progressing slowly due to a lack of investments. The high production costs of green hydrogen compared to grey, non-sustainable hydrogen make it financially unattractive for investors. Invest-NL presents a new report explaining how blended finance can help facilitate the funding of electrolysis projects – which produce green hydrogen – thereby accelerating the transition to sustainable energy.
