Making clean energy work for everyone.

Return is the leading independent energy storage provider across Europe, committed to helping revolutionize the energy sector. We focus on infrastructure, enabling our customers to access our network of large-scale energy storage solutions that we build, own, and operate, so we can deliver storage-as-a-service.
By using our high-tech platform, our customers can drive meaningful changes by reducing emissions, enhancing grid reliability, and helping stabilize energy prices for end consumers.

Enabling our customers

Return acts as a neutral partner. We unite different stakeholders and create common ground. Our customer-centric approach provides access to our platform in a way that goes beyond reacting. It’s about anticipating needs. We believe the path to a sustainable future runs through energy storage and strategic collaboration. Our role is to enable a net-zero energy system that works for everyone.

Building to scale

We focus on large-scale energy storage infrastructure that we built ourselves, at strategic locations and acquiring assets that strengthen our platform. Today, we’re active in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Spain, and we’re not stopping there. Return is actively exploring new markets to stay ahead of customer demand.

Impacting society

By managing energy flows intelligently, Return strengthens every role. For grid operators, this means fewer peaks and improved stability. For energy producers, more efficient use of green energy leading to greater value. And for consumers, reliable green energy delivered exactly where and when it’s needed.

For utilities

Return builds and operates large-scale energy storage systems and offers them as a service. As an independent infrastructure partner, Return enables utilities to balance supply and demand efficiently without capital expenditure or operational risk.

Benefits for utilities:

  • Decrease risks of price fluctuation
  • Balancing supply and demand
  • Allowing for growing wind and solar production
  • Enabling electrification

For grid operators

Grid operators face congestion, bottlenecks, and balancing issues that can slow progress. Return’s high-tech platform provides a solution. By installing large-scale energy storage systems at strategic locations, we enable our customers to stabilize the electricity grid. This approach improves renewable integration.

Benefits for grid operators:

  • More stable and resilient grids
  • Congestion reduction
  • Seamless integration of wind and solar

For large energy consumers

Europe’s largest energy consumers are navigating a complex landscape of escalating electricity costs, tighter emissions regulations, and the growing need to electrify processes.

Return enables large energy consumers to access our high-tech platform of large-scale energy storage systems. Factories, data centers, and logistics companies are then able to enhance the efficiency of existing grid infrastructure and limit exposure to price volatility.

Benefits for large energy consumers:

  • Reliable and continuous operations
  • Lower electricity costs
  • Faster electrification and decarbonisation

For financials and energy traders

Building and operating trading infrastructure can be costly and complex. Energy storage creates new opportunities in the market. Return provides storage infrastructure; traders decide how to use the capacity. This enables traders to expand portfolios without investment or operational burden, while Return remains fully independent.

Benefits for financials and energy traders:

  • Immediate access to large-scale storage
  • Flexible capacity for market optimization
  • Capture additional revenue streams without owning the infrastructure

Return Industrial Solutions

Return Industrial Solutions (RIS) focuses on "behind-the-grid connection" storage solutions for large businesses and industrial clients with existing grid infrastructure.

Benefits for industrials:

  • Lower grid and electricity costs
  • Reliable and continuous operations
  • Enhanced electrification and decarbonisation
  • Fastest time to market

We take pride in collaborating with industry-leading partners.
