France capacity market reform, North Sea Summit outcomes, Central and Eastern Europe BESS deal flow

This week on Energy Transition Today, we unpack the rapid shift in the French battery storage market as it moves from a merchant niche to core energy infrastructure, driven by larger projects, longer durations and a coming overhaul of the capacity mechanism. We also cover outcomes from the North Sea Summit, including plans for multipurpose interconnectors and a 300GW regional offshore wind target, alongside UK transmission cost challenges, fresh onshore and BESS deal flow in Poland, Germany and Romania, and major portfolio financings shaping the European energy transition. 

Hosts: Maya Chavvakula, Mathilde Dorbessan, Leonard Müller
