According to pv-magazine.com, Octopus Energy has launched a plug-in home battery in the UK, with a planned European entry in 2027. The same year, per the same report, Octopus plans to launch its Nook product in the UK, suggesting that manufacturers see a window of opportunity as the European market transitions from early adoption to mass market.

Per cnevpost.com, CATL and Alfen have signed a deal for a 5 GWh sodium-ion battery storage commitment in Europe, marking a significant commercial milestone for the chemistry.
