Listen to Philipp Man on the NPM Interconnections Podcast!
The German battery energy storage system (BESS) market is evolving at lightning speed, forcing developers and investors to completely rethink traditional infrastructure playbooks.
In Episode 196 of the NPM Interconnections (EUR) podcast, our CEO and Founder, Philipp Man, joins the New Project Media team to break down how terralayr is rewriting the rules of storage with our proprietary virtualised trading platform.
Philipp looks back at the initial spark that led to founding terralayr in 2023, the critical milestones along the way, and where the business stands today on the heels of our landmark 2026 equity raise.
Inside the conversation:
- How terralayr’s software-driven model aggregates physical storage capacity to shield offftakers and investors from localised grid risks.
- An honest look at current financing conditions for German utility-scale storage and what it takes to get capital deployed today.
- How BESS revenue models are shifting beyond basic arbitrage into dynamic, multi-layered flexibility stacks.
- The immediate impact of upcoming grid fee reforms and how policy shifts dictate where assets are built.
- How broader European geopolitical shifts are directly impacting supply chains and BESS deployment timelines.
Whether you are an infrastructure investor, a utility leader, or a developer trying to clear the next hurdle in the European storage landscape, this episode offers a macro look at where the market is headed next.
