To subscribe to Energy Tech ReviewVisit www.energytechreview.com EDITOR'S DESKNot long ago, a fully renewable and resilient energy system across Europe seemed like a distant long-term goal. Batteries were limited, energy trading was rigid, and clean power often came at the cost of compromise. That story is starting to change.Two technologies are quietly transforming how Europe stores and trades energy. One ensures power is always ready. The other moves it with speed and intelligence across markets. Predictive battery management systems are now far more than simple monitoring tools. Powered by AI and real-time diagnostics, they anticipate issues, optimise performance, and extend battery life. Whether stabilising the grid in Scandinavia or supporting EV fleets in the Netherlands, they make energy storage more reliable and more strategic.At the same time, renewable energy trading is becoming faster, smarter, and more accessible. Digital platforms allow producers to sell clean power directly into the market, responding to real-time demand and price signals. The process is automated, transparent and far more inclusive than traditional systems.Green hydrogen integration is also gaining momentum. As electrolysis technologies become more cost-effective, excess renewable energy is increasingly being converted into green hydrogen, stored, transported, and even traded across borders. This adds a crucial layer of flexibility and decarbonisation to sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry and long-haul transport.Meanwhile, cross-border grid interconnectivity is expanding across Europe. Projects like the North Sea Wind Power Hub and enhanced HVDC (high-voltage direct current) connections are allowing countries to share renewable energy more efficiently. These interconnectors stabilise supply, reduce waste, and ensure power can move where it's needed most.Europe is also witnessing a sharp rise in energy prosumer participation. Households and small businesses equipped with rooftop solar and home batteries are now active players in local energy markets. Peer-to-peer energy trading, supported by blockchain and smart contracts, is turning neighbourhoods into decentralised microgrids that are resilient, sustainable and locally controlled.The real breakthrough comes when these technologies work together. Stored energy becomes a tradable asset. Trading platforms gain new flexibility. The result is a more agile and adaptive energy ecosystem that responds in real-time to both demand and disruption.In this edition, we spotlight BatteryCheck for its innovative work in predictive battery intelligence and João Amaral, CTO & Country Manager at Voltalia, for his leadership in building energy infrastructures that are smarter, cleaner, and future-ready. We hope that the valuable insights from industry leaders featured in this edition will help you make informed decisions for your business.Let us know your thoughts!Charlotte SmithManaging Editoreditor@energytechreview.comThe Quiet Shift Powering Europe's Energy Future*Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOsVisualizersMichael WayneChris LynnManaging EditorCharlotte SmithEditorial StaffAaron Pierce Ava GarciaVian IsaacAbner LawrenceEmailsales@energytechreview.comeditor@energytechreview.commarketing@energytechreview.comJoshua Parker Kenny Peruzzi
