Known for their speed and market responsiveness, BW ESS is redefining how large-scale storage fleets are operated, optimised, and monetised. Through the expanded partnership, BW ESS will deploy TWAICE’s analytics to monitor performance, extend asset life, and unlock real-time operational intelligence.
Portfolio strategy driven by performance and ccale
BW ESS operates one of the fastest-growing battery storage fleets across the UK, Continental Europe, and Australia. With performance KPIs like availability and round-trip efficiency directly tied to commercial outcomes, the company needed a partner that could deliver precise, real-time insights and actionable reporting at scale.
After a competitive evaluation of battery analytics providers, BW ESS selected TWAICE to enable their data-first strategy. The decision builds on the performance of BW ESS’s 100 MW / 331 MWh Bramley site, where TWAICE’s analytics software has supported higher availability, easier contract compliance, and improved operational efficiency.
“As we scale up our global battery storage footprint, data intelligence isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a must-have,” said Alex King, Head of Asset Management at BW ESS. “TWAICE gives us continuous visibility across diverse systems, flags risk before it impacts performance, and enables smarter, faster decisions that directly improve asset value and reliability.”
Enabling data-driven energy storage operations
With TWAICE powering continuous monitoring of asset health, early anomaly detection, and automated warranty tracking, the BW ESS team can spot issues earlier, plan more confidently, and operate their assets with greater precision. These capabilities are becoming foundational for maximising uptime and ROI on high-value battery systems, especially as the company grows their presence in merchant and hybrid markets. The broader rollout also supports longer asset life and smoother operations across a global fleet.
“BW ESS is setting the benchmark for intelligent storage operations,” said Stephan Rohr, co-founder and co-CEO at TWAICE. “Their fleet-wide rollout is a strong signal that analytics is now essential infrastructure for battery operators. We’re proud to deepen our collaboration and deliver the insights needed for high-performing, reliable energy storage at scale.”
The expanded partnership underscores BW ESS’s focus on operational excellence at scale, combining speed, intelligence, and market expertise to lead in a rapidly evolving storage landscape. With analytics embedded across their operations, BW ESS is well-positioned to deliver safe, high-performing assets that respond faster to market signals and drive long-term value.
