Welcome back to The Pexapark Podcast! On the regulatory front of this episode, we discuss the European Investment Bank's credit guarantee scheme for PPAs, and some initial reactions from industrial offtakers. More topics include the vibrant Italian energy storage market and its latest developments and reflections on the increased support for nuclear coming from big tech companies, followed by an in-depth conversation on all things battery offtake agreements in Europe. Besides a Pexapark alumni, Brian Knowles is also a long-standing battery geek and the Director of  Energy Storage & Power Marketing at Cube Green Energy.
