At Adaptogen Capital, we believe grid scale batteries are no longer an emerging asset class—they are becoming the most essential infrastructure of the energy transition.
Whilst this is now abundantly clear at a physical/grid operating level, the journey to being perceived commercially and financially as essential infrastructure is only just starting.
Our Managing Director, James Mills, recently shared insights with Infrastructure Investor on how our fully committed £207M fund is already delivering results. Our first BESS asset in the Merseyside Ring is not only relieving grid congestion but also proving the value of merchant battery strategies in constrained regions.
Key takeaways:
📍 Batteries are critical to grid stability, especially in high-renewable, supply-constrained areas like Liverpool and Cornwall.
⚙️ Grid-forming inverters and synthetic inertia are reshaping how batteries support the grid.
💼 The future of PPAs is shaped provision—offtakers want flexibility, and batteries can deliver.
