We recently supported APG Asset Management in its €300 million investment in Return’s battery energy storage platform across Europe. Return is a leading European battery storage company. As Technical Due Diligence advisor to APG for the acquisition of a portfolio of projects across Europe, we undertook comprehensive checks of technical documentation as well as providing technical input to the portfolio's Financial Model. By validating permitting, commercial arrangements, grid readiness, and technology choices, our multidisciplinary team helped provide all stakeholders, with confidence in the portfolio’s bankability and execution readiness - supporting the transition of development pipelines into operational assets to accelerate the availability of essential storage capacity across Europe. #GrowWithRINA

Powering up Europe’s energy future with a major boost to grid flexibility. We advised Return on securing EUR300 million in growth capital from APG for a minority stake to scale its pan-European battery storage platform.   This investment accelerates the rollout of flexible storage to strengthen grid resilience and drive the clean energy transition across Europe.   Return is already on the map in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Spain, with 70 MW operational in the Netherlands and 450 MW under construction. Backed by over EUR2 billion in long-term customer contracts, Return is building toward a ~5 GW pan-European storage network by 2030.   Led by Charles Honée, our core team included Mitchell Ikoghode, Hugo Eijsvogel, Maroussia Quak, Marieke Vervoorn and Wouter van Dooren. Charles Honée commented: “We are proud to have supported our client Return on this groundbreaking investment. Strategic investment in energy storage is essential to a cleaner, more resilient grid, and we look forward to its positive impact on the market and the environment.”
