Hourly and Locational Pricing: Strategies for Using BESS in More Dynamic Markets

Wednesday, August 26, 2026, 11:00am–12:30pm

2nd floor Cantareira 2

The transition to more dynamic electricity markets requires economic signals that better reflect the value of flexibility across time and locations. This session will discuss how hourly tariffs, locational signals, and new pricing models can create new opportunities for battery energy storage systems. The panel will explore how BESS can support consumers, grids, and markets by responding to more granular price signals, reducing costs during critical periods, and contributing to more efficient power-system operations.
