How grid constraints shape battery revenues and what the data really shows

Webinar overview 

Battery storage value is driven by more than price spreads alone. Given the lack of available grid connections, growing instances of curtailment, and discussions around grid fees or ramp rates for storage, determining how and where value is captured is more complicated than ever before.  

In this session, we move beyond assumptions and test what is actually happening in the data. 

By running Montel’s own price projections through our battery storage analytics tools, including FlexInsight, we can analyse how changes to when and how much a BESS can charge/discharge will impact battery revenue streams across the value stack. FlexInsight is a new tool within Montel’s BESS analytics offering which allows you to experiment with different parameters in order to quantify the impact of different curtailment patterns.   

We also show how optimisation outcomes vary depending on asset size, market share, and growing competition among BESS. 

This is a practical, data-led session designed to help you understand where revenues are created, where they are constrained, and how to reflect this in your own modelling and trading strategies. 

What you will learn 

• How grid constraints influence battery revenues across short-term markets  

• Why optimisation differs between small and large-scale BESS assets  

• How balancing market dynamics and system state changes affect revenue capture  

• How to test revenue assumptions using real market data  

• How FlexInsight supports battery optimisation within Montel’s BESS analytics tools  

Who should attend 

This session is designed for: 

• Market analysts building or validating battery revenue models  

• Traders and portfolio managers active in intraday and balancing markets  

• Asset owners and developers evaluating BESS performance  

• Flexibility and storage specialists working with revenue optimisation  

This aligns strongly with market-aware analysts and portfolio managers who need structured, evidence-based insights to support decision-making  

Why attend 

If you are working with battery storage, understanding revenue is no longer just about forecasting prices. It is about understanding system behaviour, constraints, and how these impact your optimisation strategies in real conditions. 

This webinar gives you a clear, data-backed view of how grid constraints shape battery revenues and how FlexInsight, as part of Montel’s BESS analytics toolkit, can help you turn that insight into better decisions.
