Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage

Developing and operating BESS across global markets

We develop and operate large-scale battery storage systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific, helping power grids absorb more renewable energy reliably.

A vertically integrated
BESS development platform

End-to-end development, funding, and operation of grid-scale battery storage – generating revenue from ancillary service markets and energy arbitrage across two complementary grid systems.

BESS Development & Operations

End-to-end development of grid-scale battery storage assets, from site origination and permitting through grid connection, EPC coordination, and ongoing operations and maintenance.

Market Optimisation & Trading

Algorithmic bidding across 5-minute and 15-minute settlement cycles. Revenue stacking via FCR-N, FCR-D, aFRR, mFFR, FCAS, and spot/intraday energy trading through a market-leading orchestration platform.

Capital & Funding

Meridian arranges 100% of BESS CAPEX through strategic Funding Partners, removing the primary financial barrier for capital-constrained renewable asset owners. Interests aligned through structured revenue distribution.

Technology & Cybersecurity

Partnered with a market-leading orchestration and execution platform, and a 4th-generation Zero Trust cybersecurity provider for mission-critical OT grid infrastructure under European network code standards.

How we create value

Capital partners, a three-pillar service model, and a growing project portfolio – each stage generating a distinct revenue stream.

Capital Partners
Equity Investors
Infrastructure funds, family offices, and energy transition mandates seeking long-duration yield.
Debt & Project Finance
Senior and mezzanine facilities structured around contracted revenue streams and SPV ring-fencing.
Strategic Co-investors
OEM off-take partners, utilities, and grid operators contributing capital alongside commercial agreements.

Battery storage on the rise

Independent data confirms the structural shift Meridian is built to capture. The figures below are the IEA’s, not ours.

Battery storage is no longer an emerging technology in search of a market. In 2025 the world added 108 gigawatts of it, around 40% more than the year before, and more than the most gas-fired capacity ever added in a single year. Costs have fallen more than 90% since 2010. What was a niche grid-balancing tool a decade ago is now core dispatchable capacity in the markets that moved first.

Battery storage additions led by Asia, broadening fastNew capacity added in 2025, by region (GW).

Records, broadening fast. Growth spread well beyond the early leaders. Australia rose almost ninefold and the Middle East more than tripled, driven by Saudi Arabia. Storage is becoming standard infrastructure across very different grids.

Batteries are becoming core dispatchable capacityBattery storage as a share of installed dispatchable capacity (%). 0 5 10 15 20 18% Australia 7% China 5% United States 4% Europe Source: IEA (2026), based on Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. Licence: CC BY 4.0.

From niche to backbone. In Australia, batteries are already around 18% of dispatchable capacity. In California, capacity grew from under 1 GW in 2019 to over 17 GW and now covers more than 40% of state load at peak evening hours.

Energy shifting is now the dominant use caseShare of new battery capacity additions by primary application (%). 0 25 50 75 100 40% >90% Energy shifting 45% ~7% Ancillary services 2015 2025 Source: IEA (2026), based on BNEF. Licence: CC BY 4.0.

The revenue mix is maturing. Early projects chased shallow ancillary markets. Today over 90% of new capacity is built for energy shifting, the same logic behind Meridian’s revenue-stacking approach: assets that earn across several services at once.

Storage is the fastest flexible capacity to buildMedian construction time by technology (years). Permitting and grid connection add roughly 1-2 years more. 0.0 1.8 3.5 5.2 7.0 ~0.6 Solar PV ~0.75 Battery storage >2 Gas >6 Nuclear Source: IEA (2026), based on BNEF. Licence: CC BY 4.0.

Built faster than anything else. A utility-scale battery takes a median of ~275 days to build, a fraction of gas or nuclear. The binding constraint is rarely construction; it is permitting and grid connection.

The window is open now. Grid investment cycles are creating site and connection scarcity, and the markets that secure attractive sites and offtake structures first will hold the advantage as the sector consolidates around platform-level developers.
