Nuvve Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:NVVE) is rapidly expanding its global footprint, announcing a series of battery storage projects across Europe while advancing flexible energy solutions in Japan. In a recent interview, CEO Gregory Poilasne outlined how these developments signal a transformative phase for the company as it positions itself in the fast-growing energy storage and grid services market.

Building Momentum Across Europe

Nuvve’s latest announcement includes a 40-megawatt battery storage project in Austria, part of a broader partnership with Switzerland-based Omnia Global. This marks the third European project under the collaboration, following developments in Sweden and Romania.

Together, the three projects represent a combined capacity of approximately 150 megawatts, scheduled to come online in phases throughout the year. The Austrian and Swedish markets are considered more mature, while Romania presents a higher-growth opportunity with rapidly rising energy pricing, offering a strategic balance between stability and return.

According to Poilasne, these projects reflect Nuvve’s approach in Europe: owning and operating battery systems to capture value directly from grid services markets.

Flexible Strategy in Japan

While Europe focuses on ownership, Nuvve is taking a more flexible approach in Japan, a less mature but highly dynamic market. The company is pursuing multiple business models, including:

• Installing batteries with upfront payments from partners
• Operating third-party-owned batteries for a share of revenue
• Entering tolling agreements to utilize existing battery assets

In one example, Nuvve secured a project where it was paid upfront to deploy a battery system, highlighting the strong incentives emerging in the region.

Capitalizing on Energy Market Shifts

The company’s expansion comes at a time when energy markets, particularly in Europe, are undergoing rapid change. Grid disconnections from Russia and increasing reliance on renewables have created bottlenecks, driving demand for ancillary services and storage solutions.

Poilasne noted that in some European markets, battery investments can achieve payback in less than a year due to high demand for grid stabilization services.

“These dynamics are creating a short-term opportunity with very attractive returns,” he explained, pointing to geopolitical and infrastructure shifts as key drivers.

From Vehicle-to-Grid to Stationary Storage

Nuvve, originally known for its vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, is now evolving into a broader energy storage player. While V2G remains part of its long-term vision, stationary battery systems are becoming central to its near-term growth.

The company is currently developing a pipeline exceeding 1 gigawatt in Europe over the next 24 months, with a similarly sized pipeline in Japan over a longer timeframe.

This shift reflects a wider industry trend: utilities increasingly require flexible, scalable storage solutions to manage renewable energy variability and rising electricity demand from sectors like data centers.

A Transformational Phase

With its expanding global presence and diversified business models, Nuvve is entering what Poilasne describes as a “new chapter” for the company.

“We expect revenue to grow at a fast pace over the coming months,” he said. “With our partnership with Omnia Global, we are becoming a key player in energy storage worldwide.”

As energy systems evolve, Nuvve’s strategy, combining ownership, flexibility, and global reach, positions it to play a significant role in shaping the future of grid services and energy infrastructure.

Nuuve, the former V2G specialist pushing into the world of utility-scale energy storage, and headquartered in San Diego, has partnered with Swiss-based investment firm Omnia Global to develop more than 1 GW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across Europe over the next two years, starting with a 50 MW / 75 MWh BESS located in Sweden.

Nuvve also secured exclusive rights to support Omnia’s existing BESS developments and a right of first refusal to acquire ownership stakes in future projects within the pipeline.

The first project in Sweden is scheduled to begin operations in Q2 2026. Under the partnership, Nuvve will own and manage the asset and provide full market access services, which include optimization across ancillary services and energy trading. The company stated that they expect the project will deliver incremental revenues from Q2 2026 as the first batteries come online.

Nuvve said current market conditions across its target European regions support potential revenues of €240,000–€300,000 per MW per year. CEO Gregory Poilasne further added that “the partnership represents a significant revenue opportunity spread across a pipeline exceeding 1GW, positioning Nuvve as a leading global provider of grid-scale energy storage.”

ESS News has previously spoken with Poilasne about the company’s rapid shift and expansion into the BESS market, with the executive keen to use the company’s expertise learned in V2G operations in large-scale batteries and markets.

The companies said Sweden was attractive both for its climate goals, increasing electrification, and need for flexible storage, with a “supportive regulatory frameworks and market structures” further enhancing the commercial aspects of BESS assets.

Omnia Global CEO and chairman Daniel Hansen praised Nuvve’s ability to provide a large scale roll out.

“We see Nuvve as a uniquely fitting partner to efficiently project manage and execute the roll-out of our pipeline utilizing Nuvve’s unique load balancing software and years of experience in BESS from the early days of the market. The European market has high arbitrage opportunities for fast movers and with the partnership of Nuvve we have found a partner that efficiently and comfortably can look at a large scale roll out with the most experienced team of its sector,” Hansen said.

In the print industry, e-commerce success now hinges on connecting automated digital workflows with slower, real-world production processes.

According to web-to-print software provider Infigo, demand for digital ordering, personalization, and automation across the print industry rose 18.2% last year.

The growth reflects a broader shift as print providers move away from fragmented, manual workflows toward digital platforms that support personalized campaigns, localized marketing, and on-demand production.

Infigo CEO Douglas Gibson said nearly 60% of the company’s new customers are based in North America, reflecting growing demand among U.S. and Canadian print providers for platforms that support scale, integration, and operational efficiency.

The U.S. commercial print market is growing, but many providers still rely on manual processes that do not scale, Gibson added. As volumes increase and turnaround times shrink, automation is becoming critical to reducing errors and supporting growth without adding headcount.

General commercial print remains the company’s fastest-growing segment, with 70% of customers operating in B2B environments. However, heavily customized B2B solutions can create bottlenecks for both providers and software vendors.

“Enterprise clients with heavily customized workflows require significant professional services, project management, and custom development. However, most B2B solutions are not customized and can be handled with out-of-the-box functionality, personalized through configuration options or minor customization,” Gibson told the E-Commerce Times.
