- Developing and owning large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that strengthen Europe’s power grids and enable greater renewable integration. - Supporting the industrialisation of next-generation battery technologies that will shape the future of energy. Through this dual approach, NIEF bridges immediate infrastructure needs with long-term innovation, positioning Europe as a competitive and resilient force in the global energy transition. Through strategic, forward-thinking financing solutions, NIEF enables the rapid scaling of utility-grade storage projects across Europe, delivering both reliable returns and measurable climate impact. At the same time, we actively support the growth of the European battery industry by investing in breakthrough chemistries, such as semi-solid and solid-state batteries, and fostering the development of a robust, closed-loop value chain that spans from materials and cell production to system integration and recycling.
