Youwind pioneers the Integration of Onshore, Offshore Wind and BESS project development in a Single cloud-based Solution

April 20, 2026 Articles & PR | Market insights | Offshore 3 min read time

Youwind, the web-based wind energy SaaS platform, announces the launch of its new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) module, enabling developers to design, analyse, and optimise hybrid wind and storage projects within a single integrated environment.

Powering the Future: Energy Storage's Critical Role in a Renewable World

As renewable energy penetration increases globally, the role of storage has become critical. According to BloombergNEF, global energy storage capacity is expected to grow more than fivefold by 2030, driven by the need to manage grid constraints, reduce curtailment, and stabilise increasingly volatile energy markets. As a result, hybrid wind + storage projects are rapidly becoming the new standard in project development.

At the same time, developers are facing growing complexity. Projects must now be evaluated not only on energy yield, but also on grid integration, revenue optimisation, and market participation strategies. However, many still rely on fragmented tools to assess wind and storage separately.

Youwind Unveils Innovative BESS Module to Transform Renewable Energy Storage

With the introduction of its BESS module, Youwind addresses this challenge by enabling a fully integrated approach to hybrid project design, allowing users to combine wind and storage analysis from the earliest stages of development 5 to 10 times faster compared to standard fragmented desktop softwares.

The module allows developers to identify optimal locations, design and customise storage layouts, and evaluate both technical and financial performance across multiple scenarios. By bringing these capabilities into one platform, Youwind enables faster, more informed decision-making while reducing uncertainty in early-stage project development.

Navigating Market Pressures: The Expanding Role of Developers in Project Assessment

In increasingly competitive markets, developers are also required to assess more project configurations than ever before. Youwind estimates that developers are evaluating up to 10–20 times more scenarios than five years ago, driven by the need to optimise hybrid configurations and maximise project value.

“Hybridisation is no longer optional, it is becoming a fundamental part of project development. We are thrilled to bring the required technology and make it accessible to more players to address the challenges behind hybrid configurations” said Anna Rivera, CEO of Youwind. “With the addition of BESS, we are helping developers move away from fragmented workflows and towards a more integrated, efficient, and data-driven way of designing energy projects.”

Versatile Energy Storage Platform: Supporting Standalone and Hybrid Onshore-Offshore Solutions

The platform supports both standalone storage applications and hybrid onshore and offshore wind projects, with a global scope.

With this launch, Youwind reinforces its position as a digital solution for early-stage wind project development, helping developers navigate the increasing complexity of modern energy systems.
