Summary
Trevor Willis, CEO of Pulse Clean Energy, discusses the strong and growing investor appetite for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. He emphasizes that the structural business case for BESS is stronger than ever, and developers must focus on de-risking, constructing, and operating reliably to attract capital. Willis will speak at the Clean Power 2030 Summit in London on storage integration and unlocking value in constrained energy systems.
