📝 What are Flexible Connection Agreements (FCAs) and why do they exist? A FCA is a contract between a battery storage asset and its local grid operator, giving the grid operator the right to define how the battery storage system (BESS) is supposed to behave. They did not appear by accident: When large-scale batteries first entered the market, grid operators had no track record to work from. They did not know how a market-optimized battery would behave at the local grid connection point. Another challenge is the absence of digitalization: without real-time visibility into grid conditions and demand, operators can’t accurately assess what the grid specifically needs at any given point in time. This combination of limited technical familiarity with battery assets and insufficient grid transparency leads to overly conservative or misaligned constraints. We see these types of restrictions across Europe, e.g. in Germany and Spain. But FCAs are not inherently a problem. ✅ A FCA , jointly developed with input from both grid operators and asset operators regarding the right structure, the right lead times and the right caps, is able to reflect actual grid needs while preserving the battery's flexibility. 🚫 A FCA designed around worst-case assumptions, without the operator ever having seen how the asset actually behaves, is a different story. ➡️ The challenge is that each grid operator has their own approach. Some publish guidelines. Others negotiate case by case. The specific terms vary enormously. The starting point is understanding what an FCA actually contains - and what room exists to shape it. #BeyondTrading

🤝 Meet us at the Aurora Energy Transition Summit Madrid on 3 June, focusing on Southern Europe's path to a flexible, low-carbon power system. 🇪🇸 🗣️ Our Chief International Market Officer, Juan Galiardo Sosa, will join the panel "Scaling Southern Europe's Clean Power: From Targets to Delivery" at 5.45 pm, alongside speakers from MITECO, Iberdrola, METLEN and Aurora.

⚡ Flexibility doesn't scale by itself. So what does it take to turn a large-scale battery into a reliable, revenue-generating asset across European power markets? Steffen Schülzchen, our CEO & Founder, joined Luca Pedretti on The Pexapark Podcast to talk about what it actually takes to unlock value from large-scale batteries across Europe's power markets – and where the industry is heading. Our core believes that come through in the conversation: ▪️ Optimization is primarily a technology topic – market forecasts, asset constraints, state of charge and warranty limits all shape every dispatch decision. ▪️ Revenue streams are converging – ancillary services, intraday arbitrage and offtake structures increasingly need to be managed together, not in silos. ▪️ Scaling across Europe requires more than a good algorithm – local market knowledge is non-negotiable. The episode also touches on why BESS continue to dominate as the most reliable and controllable source of flexibility – increasingly shaping intraday price dynamics across Europe. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now: https://lnkd.in/eGYUsa2e #BeyondTrading

”There is no BESS hype, there is an actual need for it” - at Montel's German Energy Day 2026, our Founder & CEO Steffen Schülzchen shared his view on the BESS reality for battery storage. He made the case that Germany has fast-forwarded through the hype cycle — and what comes next isn't a downturn, it's maturity. This means: 🔌 Grid fees are coming – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. ⚖️ FCAs will become more reasonable and standardized. Navigating them effectively, can be beneficial for both asset owners and the grid. 🏗️ Project maturity will determine which BESS projects get built. 📈 Merchant models aren't going away — flexibility continues to deliver real returns.

🌟 Today we are celebrating our Managing Director in Poland, Aleksandra Radwańska, for being named one of Forbes Women Polska's 25 Women in Energy! The list highlights women making a real impact in energy — an industry where only one in five people are women — whether through major investments, key decisions, or fresh perspectives. Since taking over in May 2025, Aleksandra and the growing local team have been building Entrix's presence in Poland from the ground up — one of Europe's most dynamic emerging BESS markets. #BESS #ForbesPolska

🌍 Europe’s battery storage markets are scaling, but the story is different in every country Each market is at a different stage of development, driven by its own mix of policy frameworks, grid conditions, and investment dynamics. Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland are all moving in the same direction — but the pace, the mechanisms, and the opportunities vary. At Entrix, we manage 3 GW and 8.5 GWh across these markets. Our optimization isn't built for one market — it's built to extract value from each one on its own terms. If you're developing or operating storage in any of these markets, swipe through — and let's talk about what this means for your business case. 👉 Swipe through. #BeyondTrading
