Volue says battery trading skill drives widening returns gap in European storage projects

• Volue published a white paper, From Asset to Algorithm, arguing European battery storage returns now hinge on trading performance, not hardware.
• Research found two identical battery projects at the same location can generate sharply different returns due to market access and trading skill.
• Revenue is expected to shift away from frequency-response contracts as competition rises, moving toward wholesale trading, especially continuous intraday.
• Quarter-hourly day-ahead trading is increasing decision volume, tightening execution windows, raising the cost of errors for trading desks.
• Paper says forecasting, optimization, and execution must run as a single process because degradation costs and channel allocation interact across trades.
